I fill up 1 time every week an ahalf. My secret NO VTEC ....I know, its hard not to, especially since i have a 20 min drive to work on open hwy. 2nd, shift before 4k rmp. But thats my personal experience and my .02

 

shifting at 3.5 is a total waste of that car, might as well drive a fit or other mommy wagon if you are going to drive like that.

I could not tell you what I get for mileage, I have never calculated and no I am not rich, its just that I drive the car I want to drive and live life.

 

^^the s is known for it's great chassis and handling, not for it's power. if you know how to drive well it is very easy to appreciate its sportiness without going over 3k rpm or hitting more than 25 percent throttle

 

 

Sounds like you should have gotten a Miata.

 

^^ sounds like you guys need to take your car to the track to see what the s is really like at the limit. Good luck getting there on the streets...

 

Wow, honestly the main reason I bought my s2k is just b/c I liked the style of it, also with a little bit of power if I needed it. I didnt buy my s2000 to go autocrossing every weekend. I love the look of the s2k's, thats why I didnt buy a Prius or miata, their fugly. Most of them anyways. I hate when people say if your going to drive like a grandma and want to save gas, buy one of those cars. Well maybe some people would like a nice sporty car with the top down in the summers, and still has some power to get passed people on the highway, ect. Back to topic people. Like others have said here. put the cruise control on around 60 on the highway, shift before or at 3500rpm, do a little bit of weight reduction. check all tire pressure. Also check and see if you have a clean air filter, ect. Thats pretty much it.

 

That explains why you bought blue.

Kidding.

 

 

Its cool, like the blue. There is already a silverstone, berlena, and a GPW here in town, so I wanted something different from all of them.
