New BRZ owner questions....

I am a lucky owner of a 2022 BRZ which i picked up today. I came from a 2017 model. I have a few questions regarding the new car that i noticed on my 120 miles drive home.

1. I always complained about the throttle mapping on my 2017. 20% throttle input (as in pushing the gas pedal 20% = 80% throttle opening. In other words, the throttle pedal is very sensitive for the first portion of the travel. On the contrary, i have noticed the opposite for the gen2 car. When i push 20% of the throttle, the car feels like it only have 10% throttle, response seems lacking. I have not done a WOT yet since the car only has 120 miles on it so i don't know what the remaining 80% pedal will feel like but is this normal?

2. I found the idle to be rough/lumpy. I can see the tach/rev going up and down maybe +/- 50 revs (@ about 700rpm)? I mean it's not like it's stalling or surging.....just a rougher idle than my 2017. Is the ECU learning? Will this go away?

3. I noticed the gas consumption is noticeably worse when compared to my 2017. Will it improve once the engine loosens up?

Thanks and sorry for the noob questions.
