I run the piss outta my S2K when I drive it-- 6.5-9k alllll the time... and I never drop below 19.5mpg... UNLESS I'm at the track, in which case, I'm running 8-9k constantly, and I get 12mpg.

you run this thing at 6.5-9k in 3rd and fourth gears all the time? If you do, your maintaining 80-110 mph all the time. What kind of roads do you run on??

Last time I checked I got approx 10L/100Km driving conservatively (approx 1/2 freeway, 1/2 city crawling).

I have a problem with my gas. Only mods I have done is a bored throttle body and my intake. I get 280km per tank...I dont know what that is in miles sorry). Yes I drive aggressive but I did a test on my last tank of gas and i did not beat the car what so ever. I only got like 340km.

I get about 250 on an average tank. I go over 6K pretty often, just about every time I pull off. I have gotten 325 mile to a tank going a steady 75 on the interstate. I'm paying $1.99 a gallon for 93 octane BP.
