I am going to call a major BS on this.
I am running all season tires in AP1 stock size.
I have average 28.554 (yes I track my mpg) for the 13,591 miles I have put on my 03 in the 18 months I have had it. I do very little city driving as I have a DD. The average of 5 best tanks = 33.7
The average of 5 worst tanks = 23.69
16 does sound a little low, but 28 in the city is complete BS.
This comming from the guy who ran 404 miles in a single tank. Link below.

MPG has alot to do with how you drive, not what you drive.

regardless, i bought this car to have fun with it, not to be overly concerned with gas mileage.

I have noticed that my S2000 doesn't get the mileage that it used to. Its a 2003, and I keep it in great condition. I don't rev it and we dont have hills in florida. I might get 18 around town. It was supposed to get 20 in town and I drive gently....haha

Spyder, did your dating status change? Generously built GF maybe? With all this tech talk about MPGs and commutes we sometimes overlook non-automotive issues.
I get about 270 miles to the tank, and that's with ~2-3 bars left. (I can't stand driving on an almost empty tank)
And yeah, YellowCR is obvioulsy talking out of his ass.
