great mileage!
I have about 500 miles on my car, filled up twice so far with premium. I reset my avg MPG right before work yesterday to see what this car can do.
I drive a little less than 50 miles one way, about 98% highway. I came back home with an average of ~35mpg ![]() I never expected this time of fuel economy from this car. Although I do try to conservative when accelerating, I'm averaging about 70-75mph on highways. I love this car! Now to figure out how to upshift smoothly from 1-2 without slowing down |

Yeah I filled up right before I got on the highway to drive to my parents house and averaged 37mpg according to the trip computer over about 80 miles. I find the trip computer reads about 2 mpg high though, but I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do on my way to NEFR next month
My best average for a tank so far is 32.2. Recently I have been driving it a lot harder (finally past the break in) and still getting around 30mpg. Definitely a nice change from the WRX.

On my most recent fill up I got 32.1 mpg, my best yet, and that was a combination of rural highways and city driving. I have been really impressed with the mpg of my BRZ (limited 6 speed, fyi)

TOTALLY beleive it. I went on a recent 200Mi trip on a CA highway... up and down the mountains.. driving the speed limit - roughly 55-65 the whole way and when i returned -- i filled up to verify my ODO reading of 40 ! it can be done... thats just insane. but of course, if youre driving and having alot of fun its more like 28-30... but the range is unbelivable , isnt it.

try resetting your mpg odometer. The original readings from the dealership can greatly skew your readings. Plus I read that dealerships use regular gas which results in lower mpg... sometimes.
