My Z is netting me 18-19mpg because I drive 85% city.

If it makes you feel any better, my co-worker's 5.0 Mustang is netting him around 16MPG for 65/35 city/hwy.

Damn, I would have thought he could have gotten at least 18 in that scenario. Do you know what are his normal shift points? I know from driving them, that you have a bunch of torque down low.

My 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 4 speed auto is rated 18 city, 25 hwy, 20 combined.
Using Torque Pro for Android and a $12 OBD2 bluetooth module I've been able to improve my combined gas mileage to over 29 MPG. It helps seeing your gas mileage as you drive and how easy it is to improve it by adjusting the way you drive.
