wow! interesting info that really backsup what owners like myself have been getting with regards to awesome gas mileage! This thing beats out the mpg (and performance ) of its competitors, especially its Japanese ones - the 350Z and RX-8 get pretty poor mileage in comparison, especially the RX-8.

 

I'm jealous! I get between 23.5 and 24.2 with a mix of city and highway miles, top down at sea level. On twisty mountain roads I get between 22 and 23.5.

 

what is your cruising speed on the highway?

 

Between 25-27 with 60/40 hwy/city going 80 mph when possible in the hwy.

 

This is true.

Damn v8s and their torque. I'm jealous of their "overdrive" 6th gear.

I absolutely wish the 6th gear on the s2k was taller. I can't even imagine how anyone would want a more aggressive gearset because I think the stock 4.1 is already short as it is.

In my CRV when I'm at 70 mph the revs are under 3000 rpm. Why can't the s2k be like that? I wouldn't mind having to downshift to 5th all the time if I needed some quick power.

 

If anything, it should be a lil bit shorter, otherwise, I think it is just perfect.


The reason why anybody would want a shorter 6th gear, is because this car barely pulls in 6th gear after shifting from 5th at redline.

 

Btw, I get in between 17-19 mpg all around. I have never got above 21 mpg.

 

[QUOTE=RACER,Oct 17 2006, 03:08 AM] Btw,

 

Quite a bit less than 17

 

I filled up my car 3 times so far. When i fist bought it I got 29 mpg, 2 nd tank I had 18, my last tank I had 17 mpg. It is mostly in the city with really short commutes.
