C5 Corvettes say they're supposed to get 18/25, but my friends are getting 32-36 on the freeway average. And they're not exactly driving like grandpa.

But to get the best mileage, keep the RPMs below 3500 and you'll get excellent economy.

I follow the same rules with my cars. The 300zx averages 20MPG and I almost NEVER drive on the freeway with it. My Solstice does about 25/41. GM says that it's supposed to get 21/36.

Again, it's all about your driving habits.
+1. My '03 Mustang GT rated at something 26mpg highway would easily get 30mpg on the highway. I'd imagine the Z could do the same if you were taking it easy.
