i finally hit 29mpg! over 300 miles in one tank!
29 mpg over 95% highway driving for 380 miles each way. the last time i did the same exact trip, i got maybe 25 mpg, which is right around EPA estimates. however, i've always beaten those estimates in hondas (32 mpg in my RSX, 35 mpg in my TSX) so i was wondering if i could in my S2000.
it was weird seeing 350 miles on my trip odometer. in my normal commute, i get about 24 mpg and usually pump 11 gallons in at around 260-270 miles.
awesome. i'm not really THAT concerned about gas mileage, i.e. i don't drive the car like a grandma just to save a couple bucks on gas, but being able to go 320-350 miles on one tank is nice for the plain sake of convenience. in my TSX, i could go about 500 miles in all highway driving. that's NICE.

If you are getting that kinda mileage, you arent having nearly enough fun!
not much, so i'd rather just set the cruise and get to Point B ASAP.

Your next goal is to go for the highest #s of VTEC in a day.
