I like the BRZ, but I don't think it is anything special when it comes to mpg comparisons..

Not at all, just bringing up some points.
Anyways, I found this gen's EPA very odd as its estimate drops significantly from the 1st gen. This seems to differ from the real world results people are getting, which like I said - tend to be about 3 mpg's less on average.
If you look up Camaro V6 averages from folks that post their data, you will find they are burning significantly more fuel on average than the twins. The average comes closer to something around 21 mpg. And that's not even including the fact that the Camaro gets an 8 speed auto, which definitely helps fuel efficiency.
If you look at 2.7L Cayman data from people, you'll find they run an average of 21-23 mpg as well.
You have to be an EXTREME spirited driver IMO to get these kind of numbers on the twins, even for gen 2 from what I'm seeing.
