Message	Over more than 100,000 miles (one-hundred thousand) I averaged 21.5 mpg when my Z was NA. Most of that was using cruise on the interstate comuting to work, with my comute being about 90% interstate with that being a straight shot, i.e. no interchanges, etc. The best mileage I ever got was on an 1,100 mile road trip from New Orleans to VA. I was seriously concerned about having mechanical issues so far from home, so I drove at the speed limit, or a max of 5 over, and never gave it gas, not even once to pass someone. I got 29.x one tank, 30.x mpg one tank and 31.x mpg on the final tank. Outside of that, the best mileage I EVER got was 24.x over a whole tank.
