Fuel Economy
 

Yes, I know the idea behind this car... I'm still gonna get it as quickly as I can, regardless of fuel economy, but just because the car's badass doesn't mean I don't wonder about this...
I'm thinking... combined 25MPG? Maybe?

sounds reasonable.

Hopefully something around that. My daily was around 24-25mpg

for NA i see it being higher, maybe 30/34? toyota also seems to underwrite the value of MPG's, as my yaris is spoken for at 29/36, but I get 34-36 city and closer to 40 highway, and I drive like a nut haha.

Well, the yaris is running a F designation head, which is specifically engineered for economy.

Though I'm not sure how they'll designate the head on the FT, we could assume it'll be a G classification, which is engineered for more performance, so MPG isn't going to be as high as it could considering its only a 2.0L N/A. Of course I have no experience with cars running Direct Injection, which is supposed to help in that regard.

Meh, I agree...mid-high 20's city. Low 30's on the highway possibly. It'll get better mileage than my AE86, I know that for sure. Sucker is quite thirsty for a 1.6L....its also a 25 year old engine, lol.

Older engines are fun.. New engines are kind of a bitch to work on.

Edit: Hopefully, this won't be the case with the FT..

my MR2 gets low 30s on the highway... :D

I'm gonna say at least 22-28, somewhere around there.

if it is 2800lb 2.0L engine, I expect my driving will give me 40-50mpg.

in my 3300lb GTI 2.0LTurbo, i get 30-40mpg

Weight will be critical to the fuel consumption figures

i believe this car will get awesome fuel economy.. my friend gets about 20mpg on his 09 wrx.. and he pushes 4.5k every gear

my 2004 Matrix XRS is around 2800 lbs and I could get 35ish MPG with the 1.8L 2ZZ-GE.
I'd estimate close to that with the FT-86?

30-40 combined would be great... my '90 civic gets about 30... better power AND gas mileage? Yes, plz.

My old 86 (1.6L) got about 24 city and 30ish highway. My '05 Accent (also 1.6L) gets about 28/38. Anywhere between those would be awesome.

The 2.0T Genesis is rated 21/30 so the FT will have to be better than that seeing as it should be at LEAST 500lb lighter and down about 30hp. Now that I think about it, anyone who bought that car is going to be really upset when Toyota releases this thing. Lighter, same speed, and better on gas? Oops!
