bad mpg in the s2k?
How does a 06 z06 505hp vette get 16/26 mpg, the 400hp vette getting 18/26 and our s2k getting 20/26 and 20/25 wit a 2.0L I-4?....my uncle just got a vette and i was looking up info...man its hard to believe how good mpg the vette gets with that much hp and motor size! also the rx8 gets 18/24...haha man thats horrible

Gearing. If you both were in top gear at 60 and raced you would kill him.

the ratings on the S are a bit low from my experience. since i have switched to synthetic i have been getting roughly 28 mpg with about 40% city 60% highway. i shift at hondas recommended shift points and redline every once and a while.

wow! synthetic oil gets you better fuel efficiency? i just mix premium shell gas and premium chevron gas... somehow it gets me an extra 3 mpg... i'll try that with synthetic oil... maybe i'll even get up to 30 mpg in my s2... >.<
