Love the Z but I might have reconsidered a V8 sports car for 17.4mpg.

You need to break it in about 5k miles to start seeing better mpg's once you're at 10k... you will level out to max fuel econ. BUT... Dont expect to have ANNNNY fun getting 19-26 or slightly better.

You, generally can't worry too much about general fuel economy when buying a sports car over 250hp though... shytty fuel goes with the territory brutha. Try having fun in a v8? you get 14-15mpg,s.
