What a lovely afternoon. I am pleased to report that the Z is still as efficient as ever at wasting gas and tires

You know, mine isn't quite as efficient at wasting gas as I had thought it would be.. Even when I spend a whole tank boosting all over the place I still get nearly 17mpg.

That's a full tank though. I get damn near 30 mpg on the highway, so it does a pretty good job of evening out. I'm usually around 19 in town - I beat on her regularly but not for long stretches. How often do you mostly WOT 19.1 gallons of gas straight? I wish I could say it was a lot more often

Very true. I guess my expectations were different considering that, back in high school, I could get my RX7 Turbo down to single digits for a tank. That thing ran like crap, though.

Plus we should clarify that using gas in a Z is never a waste

I might even argue that it's more of a waste the better gas mileage you get

Dunno. I called to get mine out of storage this weekend and I can't because the guy can't get hold of the owner parked in front of me. I'm being blocked in by a base model C class Mercedes.....

I put a few laps in at COTA (literally only 6 total laps cuz no oil cooler

) back in 2013 and calculated <13 mpg including the 80 miles of highway round trip. So I'm sure pretty sure I was in single digits on the track.

But you're right ... the Z has pretty amazing gas mileage considering what it is. And especially compared to some other vehicles out there.
