Default S2000, possible to get 30 mpg each time?
I went from around 24 mpg to about 26 after changing to Mobil 1. Will intake and exhaust increase efficiency? Is it possible to get 30 mpg?

Depends.....you have to be driving highway/freeway all the time to get anyhing close to 30mpg. Stop and go driving eats up more gas. Intake and Exhaust are worse for gasoline consumption. They suck in more air, which requires more fuel, thus resulting in worse gas mileage, but more power.

no way 30 MPG. You might get close if it was all highway. I am averaging 23 MPG, all city. Hopefully after the switch to synthetic this will increase.

The best I've achieved is about 25 miles per Canadian gallon in the city. On the highway, I managed 39.9 once. Now that I know, I just don't care anymore.
