Uhh...no. That's not normal. I was looking at the gas mileage thread and some of the numbers were consistent with what I got 2 months ago. Again, I own a Z which is a gas guzzler and by no means am cheaping out.

gQstatus, is it possibly stuck in AWD? No way that you should be getting 10 mpg under those conditions.
I would check the air filter, and the plugs for sure. Injectors could be dirty as well.
If that's normal mileage in a X, I'm glad to own a coupe as I get 19-20 mostly in town driving. My full size truck gets close to 16 in town.

I'm planning on changing out the plugs with NGK (best they have for our cars). The oil change was just done last week (Wednesday) and replaced with Mobile 1 Full Synthetic. Aforementioned, I'm very **** with my habits and only fill up at BP gas stations (for far trips I just rent a car). I'm looking at filling up again tomorrow after filling my gas tank yesterday. This is driving me mad. I thought my Z was going to be my gold digger but it looks like this car is taking the cake.
I just read this article/thread on the ECU reset and keeping the car under a certain RPM to program the car to give up some HP for gas economy. I'll have to drive it like a grandma.

I have read several posts about oil consumption and fouled plugs.
Injector cleaning by a pro shop could help if your plugs are ok (not an additive).
That's about the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
I try several gas stations & chart what mileage I get. Ironically my current tank is from BP. I'm at 148 miles and just hit my 1/2 tank mark. They charge +.55 for 91 when others charge +.25 to +.40 for their premium.

Last night I did the ECU and Pedal reset. I noticed that the gas hasn't been burning as much as it previously has. It could be the placebo effect so I'll wait until tomorrow to test this out when I go to class. So far I'm at 140 miles w/ a hair under half a tank. I'm going to search online for an OEM distributor where I can buy OEM parts online. I have a website for my Honda, 300ZX and now to find one for this car.
Anyone know a website where I can buy OEM parts at discount?

I'm using Hankook tires which are about 1 to 1.5 years old. Tires still have plenty of life left. I verified it with a write up on Tirerack's website.
