Plus, the gearing on 2017+ is not even desirable for me. I would switch back to 4.1 again since I would go FI anyway. |

Can Confirm this 33MPG is attainable. 2019 BRZ Stock: My logging for the last trip On the Highway on cruze I got 33MPG avr as well at a confortable speed that got me no tickets. When I got off the cruze for some entertainment it drops to 28MPG. As for the high rev at cruzing speed, this was not bothersome compared to a past B16 honda.. That EPA number is just a refence...

The only thing I wish they addressed was the weight. The base FR-S was 2758 lbs, BRZ w/PP is 2813 lbs, and the TS is 2842 lbs. Would love to have seen Subaru release a lightweight, track-focused version of the BRZ. Something like 2650 lbs, radio/AC delete optional, and lightweight FW. Hell maybe throw in a clutch-type LSD and 220 hp/8000 RPM redline. Would have lost money on each one but would have been a nice gesture to the fans. That's a car I could see myself trading in for.

My normal speed of 120 to 125 KPH is actually 75 to 77 MPH. Now, that doesn't change the fact that I have lost about 4 MPG but does clear up the confusion I caused by under stating my speed.

All bets are off once you drive in a city. MPGs Were not my priority when I bought it, just a bonus for when you got to make those long runs... I already have a shitbox that can do a 44MPG. |

Fuel economy wasn't even a thought when I was shopping for a car and picked this one it was just an unexpected side effect. (I had everything from the FRS to a ZL1 Camaro to a Corvette to a CTS-V Wagon on my list and several other cars and trucks in-between). It just happens that 90% of my driving falls between 45 and 65MPH with relatively few stops which seems to be the car's sweet spot. Out of 479 fillups, I've only had 8 that were below 30MPG. The lowest was 27.6 and that one involved being stuck in stop and go traffic for over 90 minutes on a road trip.

I can never get over how uninspired and tacky Hyundai and Kia vehicles feel, even the sportier models. I won’t ever buy one. I will take pretty much any Japanese car over them. Their Genesis brand is a joke ‘A’ for effort though Hyundai Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
