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!

2017 BRZ here

1. Around 3k rpm
2. Haven't tested, but its always 1mph lower than my radar detector's speed indicator when an alert goes off
3. Display shows 27.4 mpg on mine (75% highway and some joining around). Fully shows 25mpg average since I bought it a month ago
4. See above.
5. Not applicable (but I do see a difference between certain brands of gas)
6. It's built into the housing for the headlights. Much brighter than the stock lamps
