There have been some threads on gas mileage with the second generation BRZ. I'm curious if there are any people here who have owned both a first and a second generation car, what are your observed real world differences in gas mileage?

With my 2019 I routinely see better mileage than the EPA ratings. Have averaged 32.3 mpg since buying the car (over 6,400 miles), and regularly see 35+ mpg in 70+ mpg highway cruising.

The BRZ isn't an 'economy' car and that's not why I'm looking to get a second gen car. The EPA ratings for the second gen car are astonishingly low, 20/27 mpg (which seems very surprising for a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder).

What say ye, those that have owned both generations of car?

Thanks!
