Gas Mileage 2022 BRZ
 
Hey everyone, I tried searching the threads for gas mileage people are getting in the new BRZ, but I didn’t see too many results. I have also looked on Fuelly and it looks like people seem to be getting 22-28MPG. It would be cool to track the MPG of the '22s.


Go ahead and reply with the MPG you are getting, the trim you have, manual or automatic, and the type of driving style you do!


I apologize if there is already a thread with this, I couldn't find one yet. Thanks everyone!

I'm averaging 23.5mpg with pretty spirited driving. BRZ Limited, Manual. Semi-rural driving

Burrz 02-15-2022 02:19 PM

@~300 KM so far, premium w/auto transmission 16.5 mpg :) Nowhere near 20-30mpg...
I'm fueling with 94 octane fuel and drive very spirited with burnouts.

Oh wow, that's not great at all. Cool you get 94 though!

Oh that's not too bad. Some people were getting 34mpg with the auto. Idk how they were doing that.

DeathEvil 02-15-2022 02:32 PM

I was in the 18mpg range, but then did a la trip and now it avg 25 lol spirited city driving the 18mpg though

LRNAD90 02-15-2022 02:36 PM

Obviously going to be highly dependent on driving style and conditions, but even the EPA ratings are pretty low for such a small, light car..

Dzmitry 02-15-2022 02:45 PM

Yeah, currently there isn't a ton of data out just yet, but it's getting quite populated. Overall, I think it's safe to say gen2 will be down about 2-3 mpg's on average from gen1 based on whatever ones style of driving is. I personally think that's pretty solid for a 2.4L NA engine built to peak power specs. To be able to pull off above 30 on highway is a dream for a quick NA sports car like this one... and it fulfills it.

I don't do much highway, 95% sub urban. I think it's mostly because I take off like a bat out of hell and have been having a bit of fun in the snow.

I lucked out with the gas, the Petro Canada station down the street offers it.

I can see it being possible setting the cruise control around 60mph on a nice flat highway

I dunno, the numbers seem average at best, a GR Supra with either engine does better in the EPA ratings. Heck, even a 4 or 6 cyl Camero gets better EPA numbers..

Here, compare away..

Don't have to, I can see you may have misread part of the point in my post. This is an NA engine we are talking about here. One built for absolute peak performance too (minus the emissions and whatever standards that hold it back a little). Forced induction obviously beats NA in EPA just about any day aside from mashing the pedal comparisons. The 2021 V6 Camaro gets 16/26 mpg, so I'm not sure where you're going with that one.

So, pretty much ignoring all guidelines for break-in?

Not looking to have a pissing match, my point with the Camero is it is a much larger, heavier car and its larger 6 cyl is only rated 1 mpg less on the highway. Porsche Cayman with the 2.7 6 cyl is rated 29 mpg hwy to the BRZ's 27 mpg. If you dig, I'm sure you can come up with other examples.

I like the BRZ, but I don't think it is anything special when it comes to mpg comparisons. Feel free to disagree, that's okay, we won't always agree..

Desertnate 02-15-2022 04:28 PM

Most of my break in miles have been on unplanned road trips driven by family need and not any real "play time" behind the wheel.

With a hair over 1000 miles on the ODO I'm averaging 28.8 mpg if the OBC can be trusted. This is on highways with speeds about 75 mph in rolling hills and temps anywhere from 12 to 50F.

Overall I'm pretty happy. It's a little worse than my GTI or my 435i, but Subaru engines have never been known for their mileage or efficiency, so going in I wasn't expecting Prius-like results.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Our 2022 Forester bounces off the redline once a trip, and it has 39 miles on it now. Once oil temp reaches operating values let it rip. Also important to heavily induce engine braking to help even out piston ring wear/wipe.

Oil getting changed at 100 miles, then 500, then normal intervals.

Worked for every new car and motorcycles Ive owned and engines I've built.

The only important thing to do is to let the motor warm up. Let the motor warm up. Let the motor warm up. Let the motor warm up. Aside from that RPM up and down, up and down, up and down. 4 miles on the odometer don't go on an 8hr road trip.

Not at all, just bringing up some points.

Anyways, I found this gen's EPA very odd as its estimate drops significantly from the 1st gen. This seems to differ from the real world results people are getting, which like I said - tend to be about 3 mpg's less on average.

If you look up Camaro V6 averages from folks that post their data, you will find they are burning significantly more fuel on average than the twins. The average comes closer to something around 21 mpg. And that's not even including the fact that the Camaro gets an 8 speed auto, which definitely helps fuel efficiency.

If you look at 2.7L Cayman data from people, you'll find they run an average of 21-23 mpg as well.

You have to be an EXTREME spirited driver IMO to get these kind of numbers on the twins, even for gen 2 from what I'm seeing.

Brz, ltd, manual,2022, Blizzaks WS80, 36 psi on the tires (when I monitor/control :) ).
Got ~32 MPG on a road trip (1100 miles)
Getting 22 MPG on my daily short commute on city speeds and crappy roads.

Precious (2018), was getting on summer tires 27/34 MPG.

LoneFashion 02-15-2022 04:49 PM

Manual 2400 miles, 93, 25.8mpg. Central Florida

22 BRZ 02-15-2022 04:54 PM

9.5 L/100km (25 US, 30 CA MPG) average over 2500km, average speed 37 km/h. 91 Shell, very cold climate (right now it's a warm day if we get much above 0F).

Mix of city and highway, but mostly city. Respected the break in, and it's been super snowy and slick, so with all that I have not been driving it hard, lest my traction control system get worked to death.

That’s impressive for the road trip! I plan to do some decent road trips with mine after the break in period. Glad to know it can get in the 30s.

That’s great to hear. Kind of what I was hoping for.

NikolaiCherepanov 02-15-2022 09:04 PM

Have a MT premium and I am averaging 32.4, now mind you that's highway driving every day to a from work. Max I have gotten on a trip was 34

AgentBlue243 02-15-2022 09:09 PM

My mileage is a combination of learning stick in a parking lot and doing some in-town driving. For the first 100 miles, it was roughly 18 mpg but now at 400 miles, I'm getting 21.8 mpg. I feel like this car can hit 30 mpg when I start taking it on the highway after 1k miles.

I was very conservative for the first 100KMs. Does that count? :)

ForeverCar 02-15-2022 11:35 PM

Since new, I haven’t reset the fuel consumption. Over 2400 miles now, average 13.5 mpg. Since I haven’t had a need to commute, mostly fun drives and I like high rpm.

LivinLife 02-15-2022 11:36 PM

I’m getting a solid 26.9 suburbs driving. When I had a bit of a freeway trip this weekend I made it to 27 but it went back to 26.9 during my commute.

Manual, Limited

Midnightsky 02-16-2022 12:16 AM

I got 7L/100km on a road trip this past weekend. Not bad overall. Converted that's 33.7MPG

tenderization 02-16-2022 05:34 AM

28-29 mpg during break-in when I was doing a lot of highway miles at "varying speeds." Low 20s mpg during daily surburban hellscape driving (a lot of of stoplights and 50 mph+ speed limits).

suhhh 02-16-2022 04:08 PM

Currently averaging around 21mpg. I live in a super congested area of NJ/NYC, pretty spirited driving and plenty nights spent just ripping it. Also lots of snowday drifting lol.

Also, could anyone please inform me how to reset my trip MPG? Is it possible?

When I press and hold reset it'll only reset the miles on my trip but keep my average MPG since I got the car.

amelo 02-16-2022 04:39 PM

After 1600km on my MT (probably 80% city kms) using Shell 93/Chevron 94, I am averaging 9.4L/100km (~25 mpg). There's a mix of spirited driving in there, but it was mostly city driving between 50-80 km/hr. I was pretty religious about varying engine RPMs throughout the break in period, so I was mostly driving on the inefficient side.

Steering wheel right side centre button, press and hold when viewing that menu.

Limited MT with almost 7k miles mostly freeway driving and I'm averaging around 30mpg.

Probbably be helpful if everyone stated if their numbers are calculated, or from the trip computer..

Agreed, I have a strong feeling many of the higher numbers are trip computer readouts.

diga 02-17-2022 12:24 PM

The last time I calculated (miles driven/gas consumed) it was 18.8 mpg (85% city). 2022 BRZ Limited 6MT. I think the display is a bit overly optimistic, last time I did a comparison it was like 4 mpg more than actual.

Ezio 02-17-2022 03:02 PM

29-32 depending on if people are getting in my way or not. Will be doing my own calculations soon.

DeeAich 02-17-2022 09:41 PM

I'm averaging 10.8L/100km, pure city driving.

kaesu 02-17-2022 11:43 PM

I'm getting about ~11L / 100km, mostly city as well. I'm on the highway for a few minutes during daily commute, but otherwise all city. I'm not babying it either. Have a friend who calculated and said he managed to get about 8-9L/100km, but with an auto gr86.

MajorGerth 02-24-2022 02:40 PM

'22 6MT Premium. 2800 miles tracked. I'm averaging over 27 mpg with ~75% highway driving. My commute is in rush hour traffic with half of it being interstate and the other half being stop and go 45 mph roads. I take trips fairly often that are all highway. My best tank was 33.5 mpg which was 95% 55-65 mph state highways. I track my mpg religiously on Fuelly. I don't track my city/highway percentage though. I just leave it at 50/50. I use Costco 93 almost exclusively, and while I don't drive like a grandma, I don't beat on the car every time I leave the apartment. I was honestly expecting to average a lower amount. Happy with 27 mpg.
