And it gets 30 mpg, while my 2011 Base+Sport is getting about 20 mpg. I'm bummed. I didn't buy the car for its fuel economy, but really!

What do you think about the 370Z'z mileage?

it's great. i dont care much about mpg, and my :driving: show it. :icon17:

my G only does 15-16mpg during my commute so considering that, the Z is very fuel efficient.

The Boxster also weights a good 300 pounds less than the Z so they do not need as much power to achieve similar ratios.

In general more power = less fuel economy, more weight = less fuel economy.

Ultimately it depends on driving style. I can get 30 mpg on highway in mine.

Buying a Z and being concerned about mileage is an oxymoron.

To be a better comparison you should compare it to the manufactures MPG rating for the Boxter S, which I'm sure is rated only a couple MPG better, maybe 28 (due to the HP boost)?

But really, you can get mid 20s no problem if you wanted to. The thing is why would you? This car is supposed to be impractical and fun ;)

I get 27 MPG in my Z -- both via the dash and gas tank math. :p

I don't drive "economically" but I do spend most of my time on the highway. The Z is a pretty efficient car considering what it is, but really, any (relatively) light car is going to give you decent mileage if you don't slam on the loud pedal.

Personally, I base all of my performance car shopping off of fuel economy.

Because if you're basing it off the manufacturer's website then..

I should be getting 26 MPG in my Z.

The boxter looks very similar to the toyota MR-S
