BlackCrow where do you live, someone on these boards MUST live close enough to take a few pictures, BUT untill then, Im pulling the bs flag.
And dont take this to offence it's just one of those things you've gotta see to belive, its not every day someone with an RB comes strolling around.

Fill your car up with gas. Then drive it about 200 miles. Then fill your car up with gas again. Take the total amount of gallons you used to fill up and divide it by the total amount of miles you driven. That is the most accurate way to calculate. Keep im my when you fill up top off the gas tank and reset your tripometer.

In theory if you have an engine that has lots of torque at low rpm without much fuel consumption and a tall geared rearend then you get good highway mpg that way.
I swapped out my 3.9 for a 3.54 rear and kept the tall geared 5-speed in my NA 280ZX. I usually would get 27-28 mpg on the highway. I took a trip to Cali and calculated my mpg at 31-33 consistantly on the way down and back. This is over the mountains and keeping about 70-75mph speed.
I used to get 21-23mpg overall and with the 3.54 I was getting about 23-25 overall going to and from work.
Now I have a poorly running turbo engine and I'm probably back to getting 21 or less juding by how much fuel I go through.

I remember when I bought mine. With how far out of whack the timing was and everything. I only had to drive it 120 miles back and I went through almost half a tank. Now that was bad. Luckily where I bought my turbo the price for premium was the price of regular back home. So I was able to fill up for really cheap.

No really... is there a reason the camera can't take a pic of your car?
