Some magazine said (TAKE THIS WITH A POUND OF SALT) that it got an "Official" 42 UK MPG, which translates to about 35 US MPG.
But they could have been just trolling, for all we know...

I think I may have read something that mentioned roughly 30 mpg combined... I would have figured a review from Japan would have released specs on this that were translatable...

35mpg sounds feasible. My '03 RSX-S gets 31mpg on the highway at around 70 MPH...and it is 10 year old technology or older and weighs at least 100lbs more.

Anything over 30 on the highway would be awesome. Over 30 combined mileage would be insane.

I can get about 34 hwy with my '00 celica (with cai and flywheel) so if I can get around that stock with this I'm happy.

RX-8 is around 15 to 17 combined. Hummer H2 is 10 to 12. Both are terrible. If the FRS gets anywhere near 35 combined we will all be laughing. A base Civic 1.8 5 speed gets 29 MPG combined. Please use http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ for all mileage comparisons. |

Im stoked to hear the actual gas mileage and find out the final price. I'm still quite hopeful it will be a very affordable and fuel efficent car that is still fun to drive. The cons to the FR-S are simple...
Wouldn't drive it in snowy or off road conditions, duh. Very small, limited seating space when driver is 6'4". Everyone that drives a 2door is an asshole. Bonuses Good mileage Cheap Car Fun to Drive Great choice if your solo Good choice if your S.O. has a truck/SUV |

But is there a choice? I don't see many cars with one door, so we have to accept at least that one useless extra.
Passengers are too noisy. Always shouting "slow down!" as if they are a built-in speed limiter device which can't be turned off. And they increase fuel consumption, too. Sometimes it's worth it, though |
