Default a few n00b questions

first of all what kind of realistic gas mileage do you get in the 2 liter s2k's?

next, if you're cruising at 80 mph, what rpms is your engine at?

last are s2k's known for costing alot for insurance? i know it depends on the driver and how many years you've driven, but in general do most people pay alot?

please help a n00b

If you are single, young and have prior record? might as well bend over and get ready. You may hope they use enough lubricants

1. If you're trying to save some money, make sure you budget for ~$600 in tires every 15k miles. Also premium gas. And winter tires + rims if you see any snow at all.

2. No idea, but in the AP1 you can drop down into 3rd at 80mph and be sweetly in vtec....

3. Location is another really, really big factor in insurance. Can be as much as double the rates. There are numerous insurance threads, but usually ranges from $800 per year up to $3000.
