Taking that into consideration, here is my .02

I have 12k miles on the car so far in about 4 months. I've driven from MI-KY, and then MI-CO so i've had a bit of roadtrip/highway experience with the car so far.

Since this is an FR-S forum people will probably dog me for saying this, but the FR-S isn't really a highway vehicle. It does ok, but its not its forté. Coming from a 3800lb 3000gt, the FR-S bounces alot from the draft from semi's or from high wind days and due to the stiff steering can become tiresome on your wrists over time.

With that being said, I still fully plan on roadtripping all over the place in mine. I can confirm what was said above, in an automatic if you keep it around or below 70mph you can average 38mpg (16kpl). If I do 65mph I average ~42mpg (18kpl). If you go with an FR-S, get the clear bra option, so far its definitely helped with potential rock chips.

Hope this helps :happy0180:
