cool... its almost like my rsx... but it was a 50 liter tank and got about 450... so about the same mileage`
The tank in the RSX & S2000 is the same size (50 litres). Gas mileage was better with the RSX Type S (I know, I owned one). I would normally get 80 to 100 km more on a tank with the RSX.

As I stated earlier, "EMPTY" on the gauge doesn't mean empty in the tank.

it's 50. read the manual

Our gas light comes on with [approx] 10 litres left in the tank.

You want to go with 205/55/16 front, 225/50/16 rear, for winter. Check into the Dunlop WinterSport M3's... my brother just got those for his Mazda3 and they're incredible tires, I like them even better than my Toyo Garit HT's, which are already a pretty damn good winter tire.
i read this link after about the rubber size...

url for rear size

That link pertains to "summer" tires. For winter, going with the stock sizing for the rear is fine because you can benefit from a slightly narrower tread width for biting through the snow.

Yep, 225 rear is what we all use in the winter.
