Horrible gas mileage, was your old car a prius? Lol. My old RX-8 got between 15-16mpg on the highway...the Z sips fuel by comparison.

Hence you have to be careful about how much fun you have. Unless you have the income to back it up.

I think I could easily get 10 mpgs around town but usually I accelerate very slowly because it requries less effort haha. Sometimes though i'll give her a ncie pull and every time

About the same as my 300ZX tt day to day. On long trips the 370 is 4-5 MPG better.

Yeah, city driving will give you crap gas mileage. I get about 20-21 with mixed driving. If it's mostly city driving, def in the teens.

Well, it just depends on what you are used to. My old C6 Vette had a huge lumpy cam in it, made 517 RWHP, and would get me 31 MPG on the highway with an average of 18 MPG with mixed driving.

And no, I did not baby that car. I drove the snot out of it.
