The 77 gets gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon :D . I never really thought of the Z car as a gas saver, so to speak, even back in the 70's. Now, I'm not comparing the car to 70's V-8's but how did the Z match up to other vehicles of simular (I know, I know, there's none to us) class back then?

Triumphs, TVR's, The pitiful Mustang II, etc.

Exactly, how can you even think about mileage when you have such a fun car to drive as a Z. On the gas, going through the gears, off the gas, back-fire, back-fire, rumble rumble, then on the gas again.

Hmm, sounds like music with a repeating chorus to me! :love:

And there is no gas mileage in that song...

I rebuilt an 81 F54 (new rings & bearings) and matched that up with an early E88 head with the bigger N42 valves, am using triple Mikuni 44 PHH carbs, and am getting almost 25MPG on the freeway - not much less around town.
