Mostly why I get so low mpg is due to traffic. Drive a 30 mile commute to work each day, and that takes anywhere from 40 minutes (good day) to 1 hour and 30 minutes (bad day).

The 350z/g35's are right around that too, maybe one or two miles/gallon better.

Does it really matter? After all, the mileage our cars get hasn't changed at all. The only thing that's changed are the numbers, which now finally reflect real-world usage. (Of course, the EPA numbers are now a bit lower for most cars.)

Save $$$$$ on the price of a RX8, pay a little more for gas. Think about it?
