What´s your real life fuel consumption?

Sweet. OMGWTFBBQ did the conversion for me. I didn't even have to google it!

I'm actually not anti-metric. I think the US should've switched over a long time ago. It's pretty dumb for us to cling to our antiquated measuring system while the entire REST OF THE WORLD uses a more modern, logical system.

That said, I have no idea what metric measurements "look" like (as in, how much is a 50 meters? I dunno), so kindly wait to make this transition until after I'm dead. Thanks!

The metric system was invented by the devil.

But a very logical, orderly devil.

I personally enjoy dividing by 12, 3, 16, and whatever those other ones are.

As a side note, I have found that the onboard computer does an excellent job computing mileage. It has been only .1 different each time I compare the readings.

I hate having the on board computer on the MPG screen. It makes me feel bad every time I see it declining.

.. of course I used to drive a gas sipping Civic, so I should have known what I was getting myself into haha.

To and from work and stop on the way home I get 22 MPG. This is unless some fellow worker tries to insult me by passing me at 100 when I have it on cruise at 72. Kicked it down to 4th and flew by him at 120 then shifted to 5th just to give him an idea of what a Z will actually do up to 130 before going back to cruise mode (proved my point though). On a 1500 mile trip in march I got 26 MPG on the open road at 75 to 80. Very good
