So for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been PMing xviper about my horrible gas milage. I get 15 in the city, and 17 on the highway. And I don't have my foot glued to the floor either. On a lazy..slow day I shift at around 3-3500 and on a normal day I shift at around 4-4500. I've checked everything except the injectors which I am buying cleaner for this weekend.

I've checked the plugs, the intake (v2--no water and clean as a whistle), tire pressure, and compression. All are normal and equal (in compression).

Basically.. I'm at a dead end. I have NO clue what is wrong with my car.. and I was wondering if any of you relatively knowledgable S2000 owners would do me a favor.. Viper told me that there was nother else he could do over the net.. because he'd need to see it in person and check over it, and drive it, then see how I drive it.

I was wondering if any of you could do this with me? My dad isn't familiar with the S2k (he's basically good at every-day things.. not crazy knowledgable in the S like some of you are) and so I just want to find out what's wrong with my car. It's not so much I mind shelling out the bucks at the station (3.30?! It's getting outrageous again..) I just don't want anything to be wrong with my baby.

Thanks in advance!

Update!

So I know a few of you said you wanted an update after I put in the injector cleaner. Well.. I put it in at 60 miles with about 2-3 bars BEFORE halfway. I'm now at 130 miles, with 2 bars AFTER halfway. And I've been driving it kind of hard the past couple of days 'cause it's been so nice and sunny . Usually when I drive it hard and am at 130 miles I'm close to empty. So I'm giving it a good chance of being the answer!

I will update again when my tank goes all the way down.. or when I fill up saturday morning before the Fish&Chip drive, and let you all know what the improvement actually was.

Side note: I only put in about 1/4 of the injector cleaner because it's for a 20 gallon tank, and I had 3/4 tank or so. I will continue to put it in though.

 

How many miles?

Does it feel sluggish at all?

 

I have 63xxx miles. And what do you mean by 'sluggish'?

It deffinately moves

 

whoa, and I thought my gas mileage was shitty.
I've been getting 20mpg.. but I mash it everywhere.

 

See.. that's what I'm saying. I don't even smash on it, and you STILL get better gas milage. And it's not under waranty, so I don't really wanna shell out hella money for the honda people to look at unless it's my final, last resort.
