This thread has me frustrated. I would have expected better mileage in a 332bhp V6 than with my 505hp V8. If I do decide to trade, I'm going to have to either prove you all wrong about how you a fail at hypermiling, or I am going to be very sad about that aspect of my purchase.

When I click my DIC in the Z06, it shows averages of 19-22mpg, with me seeing 26+mpg on the freeway for long drives, calculated manually.

I should think the 370Z could easily break 30mpg if you are gentle with her and not going up a slight gradient.

22-24 mpg 6MT when I am drafting.....19-21 mpg with my lead foot, which is most of the time.

Why are you even considering a 370z when you already have a Z06?

Several reasons.

-I am moving soon, and less note is more.
-I love the 370Z's interior.
-The 370Z handles very well, and 505hp and very tall gears lead to very illegal activity.
-Where I am moving, corners will be much more prevalent than straights. Both cars will be on nearly equal terms in such an environment, but the cost is NOT equal, nor are the interiors.
-I like change. I plan on driving a 370Z until the C7 corvette comes out, has been refined for 2-3 years, and then trading back into a 'vette.
-I learned that no matter how much power you have, you get used to it and it all feels the same.
-My experience at spring mountain taught me that I don't have the skill for it to matter. Myself and other students were falling behind the Camaro SS driving instructors in our ZR1's. Epic skill-fail. So basically, a driver like me, is going to have the same fun in the twisties in a 370Z as in a 'vette, whether you want to man up and admit it or not, I think at LEAST 85-90% of the owners of these kinds of vehicles fall in that class, as well (based on all the students and how they fared similarly).
-Did I mention that I love the 370Z's interior?

I get 20's on the highway 17-19 on local streets. Although I'm still breaking in so maybe I'll see some improvements later on, probably not because I'll really open up the car then lol.

Mine's a TT daily driver. It doesn't get in boost as often in city street driving, and is more likely to get in boost when getting on the onramp.

The worse is a little over 19 MPG, average around 21-22, and highest (highway) is 24 MPG. I'm pretty sure the car has the capability to get in the 15 MPG range on a "non-daily" driving basis.

Normal driving i got 19 on average w a heavy foot.

I tried seeing what was possible in around town driving. no long trips or long hwy runs. i averaged 25 driving like a grandma.

took a drive up to conn once, about 4 hours away, and stopped twice (looking at trucks for my dad) and got 27 and that was using 2/3 of a tank.

I should think the 370Z could easily break 30mpg if you are gentle with her and not going up a slight gradient.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. The Corvette is a freak of nature with its excellent highway mileage. Of course with the 6spd gearing, it's only turning a couple thousand rpm on the highway. The Z turns a thousand rpm higher with its 6spd manual gearing. And of course the 'Vette has gobs of torque at any speed, but the Z needs some revs before it really pulls.

I've admired your threads/comments on the comparison, but gas mileage is one where the 'Vette is a clear winner. I've had my 370z for 2 years, and about 25,000 miles (don't drive it much in winter). I have taken quite a few long trips in mine, and best trip mileage I've seen is about 27mpg. My usual mileage per tank runs about 22mpg, unless I'm going for a track day when I get about 6-7mpg (autocrossing).

Hope this helps!
