I'm getting right at 25mpg. a couple of tanks at 27.5mpg. I take it easy a lot in the Z but, I do let her hang out on the mountain roads around here for a few minutes every tank. Can't help myself. So, I'd like to take a nice long trip down Hwy 5 to LA..... I bet keeping it at 70mph I could break 30mpg. I should try that soon.
I'm liking Costco gas a lot lately. It generally .25 less per gallon. It went back up today to $3.85 ouch.... It was at $3.59 last week. Oh well ...

Driving regularly (i.e. maintaining a given speed) the best I can get is around 28 mpg at 70 mph. Could probably eek out a bit more in colder weather, but I think 28 mpg is probably very close to the upper bound for traveling 70 without using some sort of special driving method. I have noticed that going 55 mpg, I can get anywhere between 31 and 33 mpg depending on the terrain. If you do manage to break the 30 mpg mark though, do let us know.
And that is pretty cool about the pulse/coast driving method. I have never heard of that one, but will have to try it out for a couple hours when I head back towards Houston this Wednesday and see what I can get. Hopefully I won't be pulled over for erratic driving.
