It complains a lot.

I'm at 6k a lot.

My car is happy.

This is not an efficient car, but who cares!

About 18-20 mpg, 90% city driving.

I can squeeze out about 170-190 miles from full tank to pop-up warning showing Refuel.

Yes, but, in the end, it was a fully bolted Mazda 3...

If you want 29-30mpg, there is a way, but a huge tradeoff. Shift at 2000rpm every single shift, and never exceed 60mph when cruising on highway. you'll get a huge jump in mpg, but at the cost of your clutch.

Why compare apples to oranges? (FWD to AWD)

I get 20-22 on my morning commute, mix of fwy and "city."

I get 24mpg 90% highway. I also don't hit full boost till 5200 so that helps in a big way

AWD + Super low rpm shifting = too much stress on clutch assembly. your clutch will go out within 5-10k miles of continuously doing this.
