I tried to keep the miles low on mine. I can't help it. My 240 is a blast to drive too, but I almost always opt to take the 370.
Hard deck my ***. We nailed that son of a b!tch.

Got my 2011 this Feb. It has 4100ish on it now. I told myself I would alternate between the Z and my Civic but its so hard to bring myself to consciously downgrade my drive to work lol.

If I drive it hard, I get 14mpg. If I refrain from pushing it, I get 17MPG.

09 model, purchased new, approx 21,000 miles since purchased. Not driven everyday but is driven often and is rotated with other vehicles...quite a few road trips though.
Will probably average 10,000 miles or less per year. Gas mileage.-I don't worry about it, I just worry about the cost of filling up. |

Car bought new; just broke 20K. Currently 27.3 miles per gallon; 90% highway driving (average speed 72 mph).
The car has had two recent changes: (1) at 19K I put on Continental "ExtremeContact DWS" all-season tires in a +1 size on base 18" rims, 35psi front and back. (2) At the last oil change, went from Mobil One 5w-30 (synthetic, normal grade for Z) to 0w-30. (K&N filter, of course). The trip computer's been reporting in the 28mpg range on the highway, and the 27.3 is averaged with all driving over two tanks of premium unleaded, or about 500 miles. The tires seemed to be less than a 5% increase -- barely noticeable. The oil change improved my gas mileage from 23.5-24.3 to the present figure, about a 10% increase. I'm amazed at this number and wonder if I'm catching nothing but tailwinds the last couple weeks. This is way outside the bell curve, and I don't drive like it's a Prius. |

That mpg actually seems right. I get very good mpg on the highway but I stomp the gas pedal in the city so mine is lower. Here is what I get on the highway:
