The LSD final drive ratio is 4.1, so all US BRZ/FRS will be 4.1. Only the open diff 86's (G and RC) have 3.723. It is only a difference of .2 km/L in consumption (1.5%) so I wouldn't sweat it.

Oh sorry for double post, but Future you calculated wrong. The xB's 16.6km/L rating is better than the 86's 12.4km/L. As you said 16.6km/L is 6L/100km. 12.4km/L is 8.06L/100km. It's actually pretty bad fuel consumption wise. :/
Seeing how the Japanese test reads relatively high numbers I'm inclined to believe that it gives constant cruise fuel consumption figures or is an EPA highway test with less slowing down.

It is not constant.

If you see my post above I compared it to the new Impreza and figured it will get around 26mpg, but after comparing to some other cars it looks like you can't really compare JC08 figures to EPA figures at all.
