Whats been your highest MPG and your lowest MPG?

I 'think' i've hit 27 MPG (pre-s/c) and lowest has been 16mpg (s/c)...

I 'think' my highest s/c mpg has been 23.. but i've been unable to replicate that in a long time...

I average 23
..Regardless of how I drive.
I drive it hard when I can, and not when I can't, so I guess the two average out to 23 every time.
I don't remember anything above 24, and that has been a rarety.

Regular city driving because i've never taken my car on a long trip. Best I think 28MPG, I average about 26MPG.

Contrary to popular belief I do Vtec a couple times and I normally change gears around 2.5/3K RPM's. Try not to stay on it much because I sit in traffic always stuck on the Hellmetto.

What in the car's entire 3 year life span?

I normally change gears around 2.5/3K RPM's
Holy poor S2000 Batman! Isn't that a little too low? I change around 5000 RPMs.

I feel so sorry for the fool to buy your car after your lease ends. I was thinking about buying it from you but after reading and hearing how you drive it, hell no. Believe or not, driving it ultra conservatively is more harmful to your engine than VTEC'ing and driving how it was meant/built to be driven. There was a thread about this subject in the main forum - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=272539

Oh yea and I average about 18MPG, I think.

22-23MPG. I always reset my trip meter after a stop at the gas station and I usually get 230 miles after filling up 10.5 gallons. This is with some spirited VTEC'ing at least once a day. My best is probably around 26-27, all highway driving, worst probably being around 15MPG.
