No Way! He loves going in the orange car, he consistently picked it over the boring black Mazda we used to have. Now we have a yellow Si as our second car and it's about even.

Cool MPG and Oil Brand

For my car's first oil change, I brought it to Toyota and they filled it with "Bulk" 0w20. I averaged about 29mpg over that time period. My car is a 2017 MT 86 with the 4.3 final drive ratio.

Yeah, I get that, just wasn't expecting it. It's good for my wife since she drives it to work everyday.

I'd still pick the 86 over the Si if I had to choose one.

I just think that the higher rpm reflected from the 4.3 over the 4.1 is the only change here; where doing 3,000 in the fr-s it is more like 3,150 in the 86 at the same speed.

When we had a 13 fr-s we consistently got 32, with our 17 86 we get 30. Probably the change in the final drive reflected here.
