Manual Scion FR-S seeing 18mpg's??? How can you guarantee mpg's when the car isnt out yet?
Secondly, if you want to get thrown back in your seat. Shift above 5200rpm. Try 5700rpm. I have no problems throwing my seat back. it's just it takes driving skill to do so in the Z. You gotta harness the power. It's not just there.

You should be able to get over 20 MPG. The Focus ST gets 23/32MPG @ 252 hp/270lbft. The trade off is that to get that 32 MPG, you have to drive it like your greatgrandma stole it. Once you get your foot in it a fair amount, it's down to 25 MPG. Now, to scale that up to mid 300's, you can probably keep it in the mid 20's at worst. I say the turbo DI engine lets you have an economy car or a sports car, but not both at the same time.
