Nice OP! Don't be surprised by the MPG, I too had a similar experience. My husband and I recently moved back from central Florida to northeast Atlanta. We paper, rock, scissored for who would drive the FRS and I lost (the FRS is my DD). We averaged about 65-70mph over the course of the 450 mile journey north in he first week of August last year. He was born and raised in the windy city of Chicago, so southern summer heat is not his thing. So he had the A/C on full blast and I followed him in the moving truck. I had to refill that darn truck twice and the FRS still had about 2 gallons left by the time we made it to our new place as the refuel light came on 2 blocks from our destination.
My FRS is a 6MT and I do not by any means treat my gas pedal like it is made of glass. My husband and I are both spirited drivers and have been impressed by the gas economy of this car, it has been an awesome bonus.
