this is great. i'm so sick of my stock 240sx getting 20 mpg around town. i'm sure i can get 25+ on all highways but since my car's pretty much used for a lot of local it sucks down the mpg. well another reason that adds to the countless # of reasons why i should get a s2k. sigh...

i don't keep spreadsheets of gas mileage. i do the quick math in my head every time i fill up because a significant drop in gas mileage can indicate problems elsewhere. that's the only reason. i don't pinch pennies and put in 87 octane, etc.
so, way to be presumptuous.

I do the same for the same reasons. Also why not have an idea of fuel economy? Some of you guys make it seem like you're not a true S2000 owner if you're aware of your MPG.

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.

I've had my S 3338 miles so far and my average MPG is 23.4 with a best of 26.8 and a worst of 19.9. My car is SC so I would assume these numbers are where they should be for my driving. Lots of round town miles as this is my DD.

Why would you buy a sports, high performance, car and worry about MPG? I never understood this.
