15-16 mpg or mph?

Since the Z has a mph meter, I can see what my average speed is, and it rarely gets above 16 or 17 mph in my daily driving. Keep in mind that you're burning fuel when you are stopped, which is quite often in LA. I could certainly drive the car like a granny and get better mpg, but I also don't drive like a maniac... most of the time I shift between 3-4k rpm.
