Don't understand how some are getting such bad mileage anyway. I know all city driving can be a killer but 10.5 average?
I am always at 7.3 and I drive the crap outta my car.
If you have an auto why would you manually shift at such low revs?

In the first few days of 15, I have been re-evaluating both my forum attitude and the way I drive. They both suck, it seems.
Like Clarkson said, the FR-S/BRZ is a car you can drive at 9/10 (or so) almost everywhere and still be legal. I have become my former boss(es), one a former weekend stock-car racer, and the other a flat-out nut, who was either standing on the gas or the brake. Both enjoyed the absolute hell out of every trip they made in a car. And the skill they employed while doing so was most of the fun.
While I shall attempt to be a bit less abrasive here, I pledge to be even more balls-out in my awesome little car this year. My goal is to drive my mileage into the 15's. My nieces have grown up riding in a f-ing Prius, I'm going to take them for a spin this year.
I give it 15 minutes before I return to asshole form here.
TL;DR: DRIVE your car like you stole it, it won't be long until you cant.
