I track my mpg on all of my vehicles for two reasons: to track if any "problems" crop up (if your driving habits do not change, but your mpgs drop significantly... something is wrong) and because I like statistics when they are relevant to something I enjoy. I'm not trying to hyper-mile my s2k, but there is nothing wrong with it if somebody does

yeah i usually drive 75 on the freeway, kinda slow, but no rush to get anywhere. i do a decent amount of freeway driving cause i'm a student at auburn and visit the fam once in awhile in huntsville (3 1/2 hour drive)

and rrounds, you must of do a TON of highway driving lol i've only gotten a lil under 27 once and that was most likely cause i drove 3 1/2 hours with my hardtop for the first time on the freeway

I vary between 24 and 28MPG. Very consistent no matter how or where I drive. My Accord goes between 18 and 35 lol.

No, I get my worst gas mileage on the freeway(drive to fast). I got this car to drive on the small Hwy's/back roads and that is what I do. I hate freeways, just set the cruise at 75+ and wait till I get to the fun roads or if I have time take back roads there and back. We take day drives of 500+ miles and don't spend more than 50 to 100 miles on the freeway. The worst drive we did was from Phoenix to Sacramento in one day, how we got to Phoenix was fun but not the drive home.

Here is a typical day drive for us.

I get 23-24 highway mpg's driving around 80mph. Mixed driving is around 22 or so usually. I am supercharged though. Used to get up to around 28 mpg's.

My average since Oct 2010 is 23.58. This is a mixed cycle with 4.77s. It'll do

The best I ever got on my very early 2000 AP1 was 28.6 running 200 miles at an average speed of 89.8 mph. Funny that the best I ever did with it was at the highest average speed also. In fact that was the only tank that I ever got much above 27mpg's. There was no spike or dip the in mileage of the tanks before and after either.
