I owned 2 of the 5 speed '83 280ZXs and they both got 24 mpg all around. After using a bunch of additives in the drivetrain...I got the mpg up another 2 mpg or so.

This Maxi I built '94, and herded it cross country for 10 years. I wanted one with a slant 6 engine, but alas, none to be found... so I settled on torchin' in a '83 Nissan 2.8 Z-car motor & trans. My mileage was just north of 21 MPG - not bad considering it weighed almost 5100 lbs.
