Now for the Automatic, you're correct, the FRS/BRZ does get better mileage:
24 City/ 33 Hwy (27 combined) for the Z4 vs 25 city/34 hwy for the FRS/BRZ (28 combined)
However that is because our FRS/BRZ have a lower final drive with the Automatic and suffer quite a bit on acceleration where the Z4 does not.
The Manufacturers quote 5.6s 0-60 for the Z4 with the auto trans and 8.0s 0-60 for the FR-S Automatic.
I've driven both an auto and manual FRS and also an auto and manual z4 28i so I can assure you that it's a drastic difference in acceleration.

I'm not gonna argue the acceleration numbers as those look pretty accurate. But, 25 combined from the twins? If you're getting that kind of mileage, something is wrong with your car, or you drive like a lunatic...
