Why would you make that assumption?

Z06 Mileage, on paper, is 15/24
370Z on paper is 18/26

How much higher than 24 do you expect it to be?

lol, well maybe your Z06 was a factory freak

But I also got better mileage after break-in period, so that might be your issue.

We will see. It's not something I am crying over, but it is a few points in GM's corner for their "outdated" 505bhp engine that weighs less, and allows better economy than much newer designs with about half the displacement. Always made me shake my head when people knocked GM's engine technology. I'd say it's good stuff.
