So I've had this car for the better part of a week, and I have nothing but good things to say about the S2000. Well, almost nothing. I've put about 370 miles on her since I picked the car up on Wednesday, and already, she's on her third gas tank. I haven't even broken 5,000RPMs yet. Is fuel consumption this high for the rest of you? Will it get better as the engine gains more miles?

Thanks for your input, guys. This is a great forum, and the S2000 is a great car.

 

I am finding the same thing, and from what I have read, this is fairly normal on break-in. However, I don't know how much LESS thirsty the car will be afterwards.

I tend to fill it up when I am down to 2/3, checking the oil at the same time. Do that frequently, and do two or three checks (both sides of the stick) per stop to get a good average reading. For some reason, its a bit tricky getting a good dip-check.

Mine has burned 0.5 litres so far during break-in, at about 500 miles (850kms) currently.

 

I usually get at least 230-250 miles per tank, and maybe fill up once every week or so. My tank hardly ever takes more than about 11 gallons even if the gauge shows near-empty.

 

I usually get about 220-250 miles/per tank...It should give you 22-25 MPG...

 

Yeah, I tend to get around 220-240 miles per tank. I tend to fill up every 4 days or so. But the first two weeks I had her, I was filling up every other day it seemed.

 

I might have gotten 240 on a tank once, but usually I get about 200 and have to fill it up twice a week.

 

240 per tank, fill up every other day...never takes more than about 9 - 9.5 gallons

Cruise control greatly increases fuel economy...and boredom
