I'm envious of your mileage. I just hit 30,k after owning the Z for 14 months. My personal best has been during a long highway sprint when one fill came in at 25.3, generally averaging in the low 24 range. (MPH could be a factor )

As for the actual OP thread topic I've never been able to get in more than 16 3/4 gallons at a stop. Something between common sense and fear make me fill when the bars blink for very long. Those last three dots are a bad joke.
