24mpg combined. Plenty of street light "racing" and lots of weaving/heavy throttle inputs.

No, I'm not racing anyone. Just taking off from lights because I enjoy the feeling of maxing out a gear or two.

Full engine acceleration, Wide Open Throttle [ON->OFF->ON within 0.6sec] during gear shifting?

Investigation results revealed that this condition is observed during track usage, and a unique aggressive driving style, not during normal driving.

Sorry, it's funny.

Ah I see. Now that can be fun.

If it pops, it pops.... denying warranty because one cat was replaced would be bullshit and I'd definitely never buy a Subaru again.

Yup that's all you can do.

WorldRallyBlueBRZ · 07-19-2013, 09:06 AM

I am sitting at 31.1 MPG

shiumai · 07-19-2013, 09:37 AM

I'm between 20-21 mpg, AT based on fillups/mileage. street driving only in traffic, and not driving to conserve gas.

BRZ-OwnzJo0 · 07-19-2013, 10:22 AM

Do you guys throw it into 6th asap or keep it in 5th a lot of the time? I find that outside of the highway I usually get better gas mileage in 5th. I try to keep it between 2k and 2.5k when cruising in the city because that seems to be the sweet spot for gas mileage.

qoncept · 07-19-2013, 10:44 AM

I almost never use 5th unless I'm going up a hill at 30mph. It's seemed to me the lower the rpm the better. Anything over 60mph and you're definitely losing though.

FRSBRZGT86FAN · 07-19-2013, 11:03 AM

What if you have the automatic? And to be really stingy you put it into manual mode and put it straight to sixth gear? Would it even work at all? I think it normally seeks the highest gear in drive anyway.
