I had a 2011 2SS 6 speed manual- a fantastic car for a once or twice a week- the MPG was 12-19 depending how you drove it- and it required premium fuel. It was not a good every day driver. The gen 6 SS's may be better on fuel. I was looking for a better every day driver that I can use in retirement and I opted for a 2LT V6 RS. It was between the I4 and V6 for me too- the deciding factor- the V6 takes regular 87 octane and does not require premium. I4 and V8 require premium. I think the MPG and performance between the V6 and I4 is similar although I did not test drive the I4. The I4 may do slightly better- my WRX with turbo 4 averages 33 MPG but it is a completely different car. Regular gas is about .40 cheaper per gallon and every penny counts when on a budget or near retirement. So far I am averaging about 24 MPG in mine and I have the A8.
