And that site, serialk11r, has converted the numbers to the current EPA ratings. Click on any car and find the link to "View Original EPA MPG"
Anyways, back on topic, i think in the real world we can get better then what the FRS/BRZ is rated. Maybe not 40mpg but still better then EPA is giving it credit for...

Yes, this is the same one I have. Love everything about it (except at highway speeds, can't even hear my own thoughts), but often wishing it had a 6th gear and was RWD. That's why the BRZ seems like such a godsend. It's more than enough car for what I use it for, the hell with 0-60 times and other paper figures. Although I'd miss having an armrest and sunroof.
