MPG is pretty important to me. My WRX gets about 24mpg on my regular commute, sometimes as low as 19 if I have too much fun. If the BRZ gets, let's say 33mpg on the same commute, that's a 40% improvement (optimistically I think I could beat that, but we will have to see what the final EPA numbers are). That means I can save about $50-100/month in gas based on my rough back of the napkin calcuations (right now I am easily spending $300+ on gas most months, 40% of that is $120 in savings). So in theory I could justify a good portion of the payments on this car based on the money I'm saving on gas.
