| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Fuel economy is great. Getting 30 to 33 mpg on trips on 2 lane rural highways at 65 to 70 mph. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
it gets better fuel economy than the M coupe, but still out performs the 2.5i and 3.0i models. |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Around town I get about 23 mpg but on the open highway, get 30 to 32 mpg which is huge since the Z only uses premium grade gas. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Average 26-27mpg combined city/highway in daily commuter driving (no expressway)...even with some spirited driving. |
