I has NOTHING to do with "hammering down on the Gas Pedal_" - it is ridulous Rev OVER-run between shifts at anything above 2500 RPM and there is NO excuse for it - I will never buy another one now that Honda has made this change in programming that started in 2012 - and that "tune" will only work for about 2 months and then the ECU re-learns it's Factory Settings - trust me it's a game changerI'm not surprised that the 0-60 times aren't improved, I watched a YouTube channel a couple of months ago where the reviewer mentioned how the new 2020 Si requires the driver to change gears to third before hitting 60 and I assume last years model would reach 60 mph in second gear. That makes sense because it's geared lower but the extra shifting time instead of acceleration time is costing a bit in the 0-60 times. perhaps 0-75 it might improve, where both cars account for a shift into third? Who knows, I have been driving fairly easy on my 2020 Si and yielded 37.6 mpg calculated manually after my first and only fill up so far. It was a 50/50 mix of winding and hilly backroads and open highway. It was also just after the holiday break so perhaps the traffic was lighter too. I'm averaging a little over 40 mpg on my second tank so far, totally blown away with these results.
Like the OP above mentioned, rev hang wasn't an issue for me since I haven't been hammering down too hard on the right pedal.
