OK. I retract my statement. MAYBE 17 streets... MAYBE.
I HIGHLY doubt that will happen though. I don't care what a magazine says. They test mileage as if my grandmother was driving the car. Real-world situations, not a chance. Nobody drives 35 in a 35 unless a cop is around. Nobody drives 65 in a 65 unless a cop is around.
The faster you go in an SUV, the worse the economy gets. I've owned trucks before. And even when TRYING to get better economy, I could only get around 15/21... And that was with a volant CIA and a tiny bit of exhaust work. TRUST me, those numbers are inflated because they don't reflect realistic driving cycles. (You can google driving cycles.)
Sorry, but the Z will get far better economy.
