BRZ will halve many many more points making it a better commuter..

On fuel mileage, here are my stats (also available in my Owner's Journal). It should be noted I have an AT, that I drive in manual about 50% of the time. The AT does get slightly better mileage than the MT. I am always the first off the light, and have never met a curve I don't take as a challenge, zero effort to hypermile.
355 Fill-Ups with an average of 33.12 MPG
My lowest mileage for a tank was 27.6MPG (1 instance)
A total of 8 tanks were below 30MPG (all city driving or stuck in traffic)
My Best was 40.6MPG (1 instance)
121 tanks were 32.6 to 33.6 MPG
