I've got a z12xe, 60mph in 5th for me is at 3000rpm, so 4k at 70 is about right, they rev very high, very muc a 60mph car for economy.

More revs usually means more petrol! Thats why this car is not so economical past 60mph, it revs like mad and doesnt even sound economical!
Try not goin over 70 and dont boot it bottom end an either as they do drink the juice like any other car.
With em being quite slow, i tend to give my some just to get upto speed and it does make the difference of maybe loosing 80-100miles of fuel per tank for me.
