Official '11 Mustang GT vs 370z Thread

So far with 1500 miles I see about 17.6 mpg. Mostly city driving in congested areas of Baton Rouge. Not terrible for a v8 I guess.

That's about where I was at that mileage. Now, some 12,000 miles later, I am right at around 18.5 mpg or better for my daily commute (the Z was around 19.5-20) and I see around 25-26 mpg highway on average. That's with the 3.73 gear.

I actually topped 30 mpg on the highway with the Z over flat ground on my way out to St. Louis... that was nice.

I've averaged 20.3mpg in 10k miles. about 60% city and 40% freeways. So not bad at all.
