Congrats on the new RX-8. Sorry that we lost a fellow S2000 owner and enthusiast. We'll miss you!

It completely depends on how you drive. I never felt like the gears should be shifted before the rev limiter blinked.

However, i will concede that I got over 30 mph on an all interstate trip in the rain when the car was new and I wasnt vtecing it.

Right now, it appears I am getting 19mpg in the RX-8. That is a combo of City/Highway. That really is about the same as the S2k for me.
