It is for milage only.

That's the thing, how much mile better though? I know my average MPG but don't know Toyota/Subaru ideal MPG. So I'm testing out to see how much difference.

Actually, guys, it's pretty damn smart. If you've ever gently driven/cruised a twin with an AT, that's right where the engine lives. If you stab at the throttle a little(on an MT), the shift light compensates.

I've also come to realize, unless it's super hot, the pump makes ample oil pressure right off of idle. I've gotten comfortable with putting around between 1 & 2 thou, as long as I'm only cracking the throttle.

Also, I think because of DBW, the torque limit of a stock ROM protects the engine.

That's the tree hugger light they want you to stall to save the environment.

I spent the whole day reading up on these new BRZ tS reviews. These so-called car journalists are even worse than the newsreaders they just repeat what each other have said over and over.

If SoA would reply to my email & let me test drive the tS in street and track, I'll write 10000x better review than 95% of so-called "car journalists"... but of course, review will be in"Engrish", so I guess it's give and take

If you do the review with your native language will be more credible, suit up with a racing gears and i will buy it right now.
