#{...} is only interpolated inside double-quoted strings. So you need:

    puts "\"#{z}\""

(where the double-quotes inside the double-quotes need to be escaped 
with a backslash), or

    puts %Q{"#{z}"}

(where they do not)

Or as others have said,

    puts z.inspect

will show your string with double quotes around (but it will also 
perform additional transformations, such as turning " to \" and showing 
control characters in their escaped form, like \n for newline)
