Not sure how you came up with your numbers but using FUELLY data, your 2009 Z reportedly averages 23 mpg. The Z has 19 gallons of fuel (not all is usable). You are saying that S mode off equates to 6% fuel savings? I'm not a numbers guy but I do use them a lot at work. 6% derived from 27 miles saved on a full tank on a car that averages 23 mpg. 6% savings is a big number and hard to achieve using a blip machine on a VQ. Just one of the many opinions in this forum. I'm detailing this too much I guess. Disregard if this does not make sense.
