A mechanical overrev is where you're trying to downshift from 5th to 4th and you accidentally hit 2nd. You're not feeding in enough throttle to overrev the engine, but the speed of the ground and drivetrain will drag the engine well past its tolerances.
5th, 4th, and 2nd used as an example. |

edit: I guess mpg would be higher if there was no traffic ever and not much stop and go |

for me, it feels like driving this car like grandma is good way to not enjoy the car for the reasons it was designed. i like shifting at like 3500 - 4000 grand just cause...to get "good gas mileage" you have to shift around 2500- 2700 rpm which is snoozeville...

Then do mostly 2-5 mile errands. Rarely do any "highway miles". I get 30 MPG. 2013 BRZ 100% stock 30k miles, with Stg1 OFT tune. And I havent been driving quite as hard lately cuz I'm still on Snows. |

possibly due to altitude there is less oxygen in air thus the ecu dumps a little less fuel. personally im tickled to get 350 on the highway.
