I remember reading somewhere that when the gas light came on there was 2 gallons of fuel left? I could be pulling this out of my a$$... but...
2 gallons should be 50miles with conservative driving... but i've never tried it
I think honda is just trying to discourage people from driving around with VERY low amounts of fuel, sucking air bubbles through the filter.

I agree with everything you said.
As for the gas gauge, even when it's illuminated and I have 0 bars left I can still do a good 75kms without any problems! And when I fill up at the gas station I'm always amazed to see that the S2K had quite a bit more fuel left.

I dont hear anything from my stock exhaust.. The gas release for me was harder to find than the secret compartment..
I like the DRL.. it kool to me.. but somehow now it makes me wonder if it could be like bright dark yellow like corvette.. I notice a distance of the 2 yellow dot from the corvette..

Considering people leave the car parked with the roof down, I think the gas door release is in a great spot as it is inaccessible when the door is shut/locked. Ever wonder why the boot release is in a lockable compartment?
Fuel gauge - why do you want to run down to empty anyway? I usually fill up when I have a couple bars left (AP1).
Fuel economy - did you work this out properly or are you just guessing due to your inaccurate fuel gauge? Above 5.5-6K rpm really sucks up the juice.

Ahh yes the fuel gauge. I have to say I'm used to the quick drain after the first 1/2 tank.
My old car did the same thing and it was an analog gauge. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the S's from 1/2 to light in in 2.3 seconds.

Now as for the visor yeah I bought a couple of cd holders that are supposed to go arround the visors, but they can't. So I am still trying to find a use for them.
--
the problem seeing lights , yeah I thinkI need to do the seat lowering.
I hope this helps with the problem seeing the tach as well. Why did they make the acr almost identical to the steering wheel? Why not just a straight line?
