i get around 22mpg 70% city driving in my ap1. isnt it rated 20city, 26hwy?
i've never been able to get more than 25mpg on long trips.

 

Tire pressure, fuel mix (winter/summer), and driving style all plays a factor. I get 23-25mpg driving 80% highway....I could probably get more if I didn't cruise at 75-80mph.

I run mine at the OEM spec of 32PSI but some people seem to like theirs higher and this can improve MPG, especially if you're doing a lot of highway.

 

20-22 City and 26 highway for me and I drive pretty hard. You seem pretty normal to me.

My best is 31.4 mpg. But that was 90% hwy and never brought the car over 3500 and cruise control set at 60.

 

240 per tank, cant pass that. 60% hwy and my daily vtec

 

Mostly highway commuting, its hard for me to drop below 27mpg. Usually in the 29-31 range, fill up around 300 miles as my "gauge"

 

Another thing you should think about, since fuel prices are on the rise again, more and more people will tend to buy more of the lower octane gases than the required 91+ octane fuels to save money.

When this happens the higher octane fuels will sit longer in the tanks and will start to absorb water which will end with you getting a tank full of bad gas and lower MPG. Ethanol fuel has a shelf life of about three weeks before it starts to go bad.

I actually run 89 octane in my S and I get around 260-290 miles per tank. I was running the local 93 oactane from Sunoco and my MPT dropped to around the 240 miles.

Most gas station only have tanks in the ground for 87 and 91-93 octane and use fuel from both to get their middle 89 octane fuels.

 

I would also like to mention that revving the car a little higher != worse gas mileage. If you have the car floored (WOT) at 1-3kpm, you're going to likely get worse gas mileage than if you drive the car with partial throttle from 1-4.5krpm. I don't have an s2k yet, so I can't comment on my own mileage, but have owned many hondas and typically get on the upper end of mileage figures consistently, with mixed city/highway. Understanding how the car "works" and tailoring your driving habits slightly to them will go a long way (not saying you don't or aren't).

The s2k engine probably "likes" to operate more in the middle rpm range and is probably more "efficient" there, than under 3k rpm. It's fine to baby the car and shift soon, but realize that you could actually see mileage improvements by revving the car a little higher. Leaving the car in gear when slowing down (not downshifting though) keeps the injectors shut and will save a little fuel as well.

sounds like you're within the normal range.

 

well I guess since im in the normal range....


Just wish it was a better range

 

Not to be a dick but you bought a sports car. We get the best MPG of any sports car around what is the problem. Honda rates the car between 18-25MPG did you not know this when you got the car?
