Plus 1 more reason for mods!
Exactly right.
2009 6MT - still have it.....all breather bolt ons you can get.
My mileage got better after the mods.

I will drink fuel like water after a while with stop start heavy foot driving.

Occasional long drives constant speed will drop the fuel consumption and even things out. Make an afternoon of it 200 miles will do wonders.
