Stock I use to get 210 with about two bars left.
Mugen ECU for some reason I get about 240 with two bars left, at first it was about 200 but it seems to have adapted.
Now, my first tank with the Toda Cams 180 with a couple of bars left, but that could just be because I am flooring it way to much lately.

It really varies in this car depending on your driving style.

I figured my mpg ranges btw 20 & 28 or 29 - depending on:

highway or backroads
how often I vtec
and generally how agressively I drive

I bet most S2000 owners don't even check mileage

I get about 200-240, depending on driving conditions, just last week I got my best gas milage ever, 30.75 with top down! I was doing mostly highway, with a little stop and go in town. Most of the time I get around 24 MPG.

I've seen 300 once or twice, but was nervous long before I arrived at the pump.

I average 25-26 mpg in a mix of city/hwy driving with reasonable amounts of VTEC.

Man, what the hell am I doing wrong? I've been faithfully recording my mileage in my Palm organizer ever since I got the car, and after 3,600 miles I average at just over 20 mpg. The best I ever saw was 24.16 mpg, and I don't think I am driving that aggressively...

Not sure how far I get with a full tank; I try not to run it down to the last drop.

My regular commute is both expressway and downtown traffic. Generally I drive down to only one yellow bar left on the gauge and I'm at about 235 miles, I think it figures out to be about 25ish mpg.

I have seen 323 once, it was all expressway and no VTEC at all, and I was really, really happy when I saw the gas station sign up ahead!!! When I figured it out I think it was 31.5mpg, but it was not a fun drive.

Now on the track I got about 120 miles before I needed gas, and no, I did not check the mpg then, but I should have for the fun of it.

190 to 200 miles. As you can tell, I have fun driving my S2000.
