I remember doing calculations for the enrichment threshold mpg in each gear, I remapped the throttle so it was easier to control, and I learned to drive only at stoichiometric AFR. I would typically get 42mpg "highway" using some pulse and glide, and about 25 in traffic. The car isn't particularly fast as is so I usually accelerated to 3000rpm and then dropped to neutral or the highest possible gear asap.

My BRZ is a 2022, 2.4 l engine. I was pleasantly surprised that the DFCO comes back on at a low 1000 rpm, I think. At least that's what it feels like to me.
