Default who else is happy with their MPG?

I usually get about 23mpg. I'd love 28mpg.

i got about 23.4mpg on my last tank, with about a 50/50 mix of hwy/city. not bad at all considering how aggressively i was driving on that tank.

Since it's winter time I see about 95% highway miles in my S at 75mph with decent amount of stop and go. I get 27-30mpg every tank depending on how much I hit vtec. I usually go about 320miles before a fillup and put in 11.xx gallons. The furthest I've gone is 342miles and at 28.xxmpg, and I filled up just over 12 gallons.

I'm confident I could hit 31-32 mpg if I drove even more wussy.

used to get around 27-28 mpg for first couple month of ownership of my 05' model, now get around 23 to 24 mpg since I drive bit harder than before.

I am happy with the mileage I get; VTEC many times per day and still between 25-30.

In its class, the s2k's gas mileage is pretty good. For its weight, power output, and 6spd transmission, it is at best mediocre. Anything above 25mpg in a sportscar is great to me though. My old 300zx turbo was lucky to get 15 around town, then again it was 600lbs heavier and had over triple the torque.
