Sounds like you must be driving it the way it's made to be driven What's the speed limit there?

In the Uk 70mph, although that tends to be 80-90 most the time, a bit faster when i'm in the Z.

On my trip France is 130KPH, Switzerland had slow limits, though on the mountain roads I was on the 80kph limit was more than enough - for an idea one road we used was 13km long, climbed 15% and had 350 curves (mostly tight hair pins) on it. Then of course Germany which either had a 130kph or no limit at all!!!! Although unlike previous years the Z didn't get to stretch her legs as much because it was wet part of the time and also busy

Last month we spent 15 days on the road in "The Beast". Put on 5,000 miles and averaged 24 mpg for the trip.

I have to admit that when on the flat land we were cruising with the key off (unless some extra boost was needed for passing on a two lane road ) but when in the mountains the key was always on. Most of the flat land running also included having the A/C on as outside temps were often in the triple digit range.

There were a few days of "spirited" driving that impacted the daily averages. Best tank was 27+ mpg and the worst was 19+ mpg. So IMO the KOTH lived up to its window sticker claim of 25 mpg/highway.

On the trip to MN last weekend I averaged 24, that was with Marc's chip so the 'key' was effectively on and I also have 4.10s.

Thanks

28.5 on the return from BG with my 93 after Marc dyno tuned it...

Drove to Dayton area this weekend and averaged 22mpg which I thought was a bit less than expected. I was driving at 75-85mph most of the time. I think the Marc Randolph chip I have causes secondaries to open a bit too early. Power key is always on.
