Few questions for 2017 stick shift owners

Actually thinking about getting one. I test drove one (see my impressions here) but I didn't have time to notice/check everything.
Questions:

1: What rpms do you get at 70 mph?
There's no youtube video of someone cruising (or even accelerating) in 6th gear. Maybe some one can post a youtube video of cruising, 1/3 throttle accelerating from 60 and WOT accelerating from 60 in 6th gear?
2: How accurate is the speedometer (compared to GPS)?
All the old cars I've had were doing around 67 when 70 was indicated.
The newest car I have (a 2016) is SPOT ON.
3: What kind of cruising MPGs do you get (flat road, no AC, 70mph, stock)?
4: How accurate is the indicated fuel consumption?
5: For "early adopters" (people who bought it in early fall) did you notice a big difference in fuel consumption between summer and winter blends of gas?
6: How do you get the high beams with the new headlights?
Is there a separate bulb (that I can't see in pictures) or is the whole assembly twisting up? Is it blinding for the incoming traffic or just a tad brighter than low beams?

Thank you!
