Message	my mom's Z has 205/55 r16's on it. Upgraded full exhaust system usually improves mileage by 1-2mpg on most vehicles if your driving habits don't change. I once drafted for the majority of a trip from Orlando to Tampa on I-4 and achieved 24mpg on my Z when it was non-turbo. You could also convert your rear end to the taller geared TT differential and that would bring your cruising rpm down significantly. Maybe do an electric radiator fan too. I would assume it's possible to achieve 30mpg tops if you do all those things but gas mileage is not what these cars were designed for.
