What MPH gets the best MPG?

I think the key here is like they say...your mileage will very. Frankly as sports cars car the Z is fairly economical fuel wise. But as some have stated they can hit single digits. Nice that it will achieve high 20's as well! And remember that here in Canada our gallon is bigger so we get higher mileage.he he.

Of course you are damn right, Sir! Sorry.
Our way with L/100km would give you the total opposite.

I averaged 29.8 mpg over a 200 mile trip yesterday. I think my average speed was around 74 mph. I usually get 18 mpg during my daily commute.

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.

Never consider MPG in a sports car. If I was concerned about that I probably wouldn't have a Z. My Acura TL gets fair mileage and my Mountaineer (family truckster) with a 4.5 liter V8 gets even less mileage than the Z. When I saw the topic I thought I had accidentally accessed a Toyota Prius forum
