What kind of gas mileage should I expect out of an S2K? What do you guys get?

I usually fill up around 2 or 3 bars because I find the lower end of the gauge to be non linear. For example, last time at Shannonville, I had 1 bar left when we left the track and was down to 0 before we hit the gas station a few kms away (I was actally coasting because I was getting nervous )

Anyway to answer your question, I think the most I ever put in was around $30 (Sunoco Gold).

About 400km to the tank...

My S2k has the same mileage as my Sisters 2001 GTi VR6...

the last few bars go down WAYYYY faster than the first few. Actually, I think the gas gauge is calibrated like a slope.

I think the most ever I got on one tank was 350 km. but it's usually closer to 300 km's.

All city driving, I get 340 km on 37 liters of gas. This is roughly 26 miles per Can. gallon. (This is with 4.44 rear gears) Before the gears, I was maybe at 27 mpg.
On the highway (before the gears), I was getting 39.9 mpg.

How big is the tank in the S? A much more accurate way to measure fuel economy is divide the L put in by Km travelled. Personally I use 10L/100km. So if I reset the trip odometer, I drive for 500km and at refuel time, I put in 50L.

Quick_Lude,

My car before the GTi was a 98 Prelude S! I loved that car, but decided to go Euro. THe Prelude had one of the best shifters I have felt.. the S2K one is even sweeter though.

10L/100km is not bad at all... I can deal with that on a sports car. =)

Its not likely that you will get 10L/100km with an S, at least if your having any fun. Probably more like 12L or 13L per 100km.
