My wife and I started a 3-week trip May 31st in our BRZ from our home in Denver. The BRZ was barely broken in with 1184 miles on the odometer. The car was packed full, including two large back packs dedicated to rock climbing gear. We went as far as Cape Cod and Kittery Point, Maine. Celebrated our 25th anniversary in Lake Placid. Trip totals: 5,081 miles and 140.4 gallons of gas, for a 36.2 MPG average (automatic trans). Max speed was 90 MPH, we used the AC whenever we needed (i.e. most of the time), drove interstates, secondary roads and some dirt roads, had good weather and torrential downpours.
Since that trip, I've run the car at two track days, where the automatic certainly simplified the task of learning an unfamiliar track and the lethargic 0-25 MPH acceleration isn't an issue
Bottom line: This is my favorite car. Ever. And I've had over a dozen cars in my 61 years.
