Recent Freeway / Highway Runs

The 370Z is a great GT! 4500miles on it already after just 5 months.
I love it's suspension as it is not too harsh.

Last weekend we had our second road trip already. This time she took us to Germany.
With 100mph on cruise control she gets around 23mpg*.
My average is now at a bit below 23mpg*.
V/max was 150miles an hour. Still easy to handle but I didn't want to squeeze out the last bit as there were still other cars on the road.

Even in the passenger seat she feels very comfy while I let my waifu drive a little.

29mpg must be possible only at very low speeds. I managed once around 30mpg in the 350Z but cruising behind our convoy to the race track going only a few above 60mph.

Next trip to Belgium will follow... can't wait!

EDIT:
and yes, the 350Z with a smaller engine and less hp and manual transmission was definitely thirstier!

EDIT2:
*A/C on most of the distance
