There is a lot more to consider than the amount it costs to fill the tank and the distance driven between fuel ups to determine how efficiently an engine makes power. There are also some flaws in using only that, unless the driving environment and cost of gas per liter were identical in both situations. That's not even getting into power output or fuel delivery, as well as countless other variables I'm too lazy to list.

If you're not happy with the current efficiency in your FRS, flash it back to stock and be sure to keep the Primacy (or comparable low rolling resistance) tires. If you're still not getting comparable efficiency to others with a stock car, there may be an issue with either the car or driving technique. If you're not happy with the average fuel efficiency others are getting for the engine displacement and power, research your next vehicle more carefully prior to purchase.

I have done my research prior and post. Im aware of all that. I probably read every article on this car and watched every youtube video. Atleast 200+ hrs obsessing over it before i eventually bought one. So i assure you im well aware of its tendencies. I just feel i get shit mileage is all. I woulda kept my jeep. Big reason i bought this car was to save on gas.

And stfu up before u start tcoat, you dyslexic asshole. Its not a jet fueled drag car that burns a tank in 2 passes. Its a 4cyl economy poor mans race car with 150 hp to the wheels.
