If you can’t offset financially 22.54$ a month then you probably can’t afford the car or many other luxuries.
If you do the math and break it down monthly then it seems like a ridiculous moot point when I hear anyone with a “non essential depreciating luxury that was purchased as a want not a need” complain about gas mileage or inconvenience of stopping at a gas station more.
The whole dealeyo with the brz is the straight ignorant premise well it’sa 4 cylinder.. look at the power it is making and the compression ratio and to still net near 30 and for some over 30mpg (60mph) is stellar by any standard. Enjoy these moments before it’s all mundane electric plastic bags on auto pilot.

Paired with a 10 gallon tank and I already feel like I'm constantly filling it up. It's not a big bill, its just the frequency.

If you had to rely on the BRZ for a longish-ish highway commute, the fillup frequency could get old in a hurry.
