Default S2000 Gas Milage

Okay guys, this is my gas mileage I got the other day in MY04 AP2. I mostly kept outa vtec but did hit it a couple times =P ...mostly shifted around 2-3k RPM maybe hit 4-4.5k RPM in 6th while driving. This was all city driving. I did however race a car twice from about 20-90 each time clutch slipping all the way lol

Mods: Dirty air filter on a mugen replica intake (no bumper cutout) + Invidia testpipe.
Oh btw, valves are horribly outa adjustment =/ taking care of that either tomorrow or sunday.


This is fully topped off about to spill out.


306.4 miles to 12.849 gallons ... comes out to 23.846 miles per gallon.


All in all i consider this pretty good. I usually beat on my car but ive been being nice to her for the past 2 months mainly b/c of my poor clutch haha.

I just ran my car from full to pretty much on fumes. It was mostly town driving with a bit of highway. This is completely normal driving, a couple of drops from the red light, some Vtech when I can fit it in. I just got 369 out of the tank which from what I hear is pretty good. That was 92 octaine.

I usually get about 260 miles on a tank before the gas light goes on.

How many miles can I get after the light goes on?

My light comes on when I Have two ticks left on the gas gage. I ran it this time till I had no ticks but it just went to no ticks when I refilled. I think I got about 16 - 20K with the light on.

I have not had under 300 on a tank though. Even when I first got it and was taking it to the store and anywhere just to drive it.

I have C&N clean air system though which I hear really helps gas mileage.

I found filling up at half a tank my MPG is higher. Im not sure what causes that, but numbers dont lie.
