Just got back from driving from Cincinnati to Ocala, Fl (est. 850 miles). On the way down I hit a lot of rain which lowered my average mph, but I was able to get 30+ mpg! The picture shows my Average MPG and MPH from my home (about 25 miles north of Cincy) to Atlanta (490 miles). I got a heavier foot after Atlanta and I ended up with about 27mpg for the overall trip down. Since it rained even more during my trip back up I didn't pay attention to my Mpg during my return.
This shows if you take it easy and drive "normal" the Z is capable of getting excellent fuel economy.
