So yesterday I had the opportunity to attempt to fuel starve my Z. I took a long, sweeping right hand curve at 75-80 mpg with <2.5 gallons of fuel in my tank. No dice. This is a recommended 55 mph curve that I didn't dare take over 80 with my current tires. I know the fuel level because I filled up on gas less than 3 miles later and put 16.75 gallons in it. I guess I need less fuel or a harder turn in for more centrifugal force.
