On craigs list. This made me laugh right away "34mpg." My old zts wouldn't go over 28mpg babying the dang thing.

I see the Nitrous tank has been removed, easy job since it was never hooked up.
I will say that with my 2000 ZX3 I got a best of about 33 on a trip to Kansas with the cruise set the whole way.
I also got a best of 31 with my SVT coming back from Road America stuck in 65 MPH traffic on Wisconsin 2 lane.
The second half of that trip I got my typical 27 once I hit I94 and set the cruise at 83 or so.

Too bad it has so many doors on it.
I should have tried to keep my '04 ZX3 2.3 MTX, it's one of the rarest Foci out there now.

That is the car Waldoc had at The World Of Wheels a few years back. It is a truely nice car, fit and finish. BTW what is so "riced out" about it. I don't see a huge wing, giant faky frount mount, gaudy body kit or anything that would sugest "rice".
Oh, and as for MPG. I average 27 - 30 mixed in town and highway. The best I have ever gotten was 40mpg, on a trip down to Mason City Iowa and back.

I know that car

the car isn't too bad, just not too my tastes completely
its not rice though, its called a SHOW CAR (where all things are ridiculous and impractical)
