Default Gas Milege thread

Well I just recently got my s2000 but I will say I was suprised to see it getting a little over 27mpg. Its stock, and thats with a mix of normal/spirited driving and top up/down. I thought it would be worse

What do you guys get? Post your mods and driving conditions

most i've gotten was 260 on a full tank with a mix of normal/sprinted driving.
this week might be my best week ever. i have like 210 miles w/ 5 bars left so i might hit 300. but i haven't been over 3.5k rpm's yet.

I use the car for mostly city driving, but I have only seen about 235 on a tank so far. It is an ap2. seems low.

I used to be able to hit 27mpg. Now I can only manage 24mpg, even with 95% freeway.

Air filter's fresh and tires are pumped to 32psi. I don't know what gives.

At 95% freeway, with relatively gentle acceleration with speed being maintained at 65 mph for long periods of time, you should get 27 mpg.

I'm hoping $4.00 gas means end of the SUVs.
