Who buys a car rated at 20/27 that needs premium and is concerned about gas mileage?
Not to mention, I was just playing around. geez

I'm not trying to come off aggressive haha, was just saying. You won't be lugging it at 2500 unless you're giving it aggressive throttle anyway. Though I wouldn't know much about when lugging occurs on this engine as I haven't driven it in such a way to do so.
In regards to your statement of a sports car with premium gas having concern for gas mileage - it's not about gas mileage in particular, but rather about driving based on the conditions you're presented with. If you're on a slow moving road with regular traffic, there's no need to be revving higher and burning more gas with every shift. I drive mixed constantly. There's times where I'm getting 33 mpg and others where I'm getting 26 mpg on the same exact trip with similar conditions.
