And actually I have been lurking in the Genesis one on and off as well as it was the number two on my short list when shopping and I like to keep track! The only difference is I don't run back here and tell everybody what jerks they are over there (and you know as well as I do there are several).
All's cool though!!

Want great mileage and great acceleration? Get a Tesla. Starting at 70K and going way up from there.

the 86 is obviously too thirsty for you have you looked into say maybe a 200hp camry hybrid you can go 8 DAYS without filling up,

I can see why I look dumb on this thread. I'm just tryna put the pieces together is all. I had a 08 Maxima and the cvt is phony to mess with. So this 86 is my new Bae. Never loved a car like my FRS. This thing is gonna be wicked when I'm done with it

I'm very much the opposite. Gassed up the FR-S on Nov 1 and haven't filled since. Thats almost 70 days and the needle hasn't even moved!!

FISHBURGLAR · 01-10-2015, 10:30 AM

Im currently in almost the same boat. My daily commute is the usual. 80% city 20% suburbs. Ive had an average of 26.8, up until the cold hit New York the past week. I drove the car harder than usual and dropped down to 26.7 but since the cold i've dropped down to 26.4. I'm praying that its the cold. Aswell as I know its time for an oil change. i have 15,000 miles now. Purchased the vehicle with 12,000 miles. I know its only .4 of a difference but I dont like it.

Unless it has to do with me being on the throttle a little more as im used to the car by now =}

HMMMM There is a car with a full tank not far me eh!?

I am currently getting 21-22mpg from 100% city. Which is quite a difference from before. The winter blend gasoline kills the mileage.

If you let it sit and idle a lot more to warm up it will hit you pretty had on your average.
Mine went from a rock steady 7.3L/100 for 5 months to 7.4 now that I have been letting it idle for 5+ minutes at each start up. Probably would be up more if it weren't for the road conditions that have forced me to be way lighter on the throttle then normal.

Wouldn't say "dumb" but this is FRS basics 101 and if you even spent 10 minutes with the manual you would have known about the gauge.
Since you used the words "Bae" and "wicked" in the same post I am very sure there are loads of guys here just waiting to see what your plans are!
