This is much higher than I anticipated. I would imagine the FRS is the same? Bye 09 tC!

 

A lot better than expected for sure. I was prepared for 21/29 or so.

 

I can't see pic, but it's 34mpg right?

 

25city, 34highway

 

Yeah, great MPG.

 

those numbers are for the automatic, the manual is rated at 22/30

 

is it just lower due to the fun stick factor?

 

higher revving final drive as well as closer gear ratios.

 

Wow, what a let down. Figures it was too good to be true.

 

Pretty good if you ask me. My 350z was like 18mpg.

 

Agreed. Pretty decent. Not the best but far from others that get far less. Either way, I can see people complaining about not receiving the advertised MPG when they constantly test how hard they can drive/drift it.

 

I was a little disappointed with the manual mpg rating too, i get the same now with my supercharged tC and a few more MPG if i actually try.
but if it is anything like the tC with the ratings it was given, you can do better then that without even trying. my 1st gen tC and even my xD get much better mpg then they are supposedly rated for.

 

The tC is not a rwd sports car, so I'm not seeing the relevance to comparing it to a tC's mpg.

 

its a smaller car with a smaller N/A motor, that weighs a lot less. So, no I was not expecting it to get the same mpg i have now even if it is supposed to be more sporty, plus with every other car i have done the figures with before, including the tC, the rated estimates for MPG are low compared to what i have actually been able to get when driving normally.

 

Really? For 12:5.1 compression? Meh, seems respectable to me. It gets better City miles than my old 350z did highway, so imo it is a good number for this car. My Camry only gets 2mpg more hwy than this car.

 

Manual will actually get better hwy mpg if you drive like you have sense.

Happy B-day knight.

 

I cannot imagine the manual is that much worse than the automatic 22 city vs. 28 city. Typically there is not much difference between the two. Also, I did not see where it was stated on Subaru's website the MPG were for the auto. Maybe I missed it!

 

it doesn't specifically say on that screengrab posted, just that it can get "up to" that much, which is true enough for marketing speak.

but the different gearing and the mileage estimates have been known for a while now and have been listed around the internets specifically mentioning 25/34 for the auto and 22/30 on the manual

 

The frs should be slightly better then the BRZ due to the 100lb difference as well. I agree that most of the time the projected MPG is worse than what we can actually get. I have never seen a car, when driven smart, get worse MPG. It normally goes in favor of better. All of the cars my parents have owned get/got way above advertised.
