Replying to: accelerator (May 15, 2007 6:29 am) Econocar? Not quite. I have a 2007 S2000- 17K miles (already)   Here are some good points-   Insurance. If you have a reasonable driving record, the insurance is decent, and probably less than a new A ccord V6. (Not many of these on the road means that chopped parts are not in demand like they are with Accord or Civic) Two seats means potentially fewer medical payments for the insurance company in the event of an accident. Of course, offsetting this is -well- that it's an S2000 and capable of 150mph+   Maintenance: For a car with Lotus or Porsche type performance, you pay for Honda maintenance. If you are so inclined, the oil is very easy to self-change. In many Honda cars, a timing belt replacement is required at 90K-110K miles. The S2000 (AP2 anyway) has a timing chain, which is much more durable, and should last 250K miles.   Tell her how good she'll look in it!   Good Luck.
#12 of 34 Good but not great fuel efficiency......... by gsolman6 Jan 02, 2008 (8:34 pm)
About 23 mpg here. Mostly city driving, top down, no a/c, and slightly heavy foot.   Not as good as an Mx-5 Miata but definitely better than an Rx-8.............

Replying to: claires (Jun 21, 2006 9:25 am) My stats are skewed slightly because of the supercharger, but here it goes:   Best: 34.6mpg - all highway on 93 octane gas (TX) Worst: 18mpg - city driving + 2 SCCA events   I average around 20 in the city and 30ish (emphasis on the "ish") on the highway. Combined, I have no idea. My commute is ~4 miles. Replies to this message: accelerator (Mar 10, 2008 6:32 am) estreka (Mar 10, 2008 6:55 am) accelerator (Mar 10, 2008 7:07 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: estreka (Mar 09, 2008 6:36 pm) I've had mine for right at 10 months and here lately with top up, I've been averaging 24.8 mpg. I drive 28 miles one way, the first 8 miles are stop-n-go, and the remaining 20 miles are hiway speeds between 60-75 depending on traffic flow... Also on 93 octane in Texas.   estreka, The superchargers pushes your mpg almost 10 mpg higher? Wont take too long to pay for itself if the gas prices keep rising!

Replying to: accelerator (Mar 10, 2008 6:32 am) The supercharger was free, courtesy of Vortech. My car was the tester model for their centrifugal supercharger. Needless to say, my car undertook a great deal of test and tune which I'm sure accounts for the mileage. Replies to this message: accelerator (Mar 10, 2008 7:07 am) estreka (Mar 10, 2008 7:18 am)

Replying to: estreka (Mar 10, 2008 6:55 am) Where does the line start???   Didn't you recently post something about this at S2Ki? I'm sure there are more than one test car out there, but something about your post does sound a bit familiar. Replies to this message: estreka (Mar 10, 2008 7:18 am)

Running a straight S2000 here in AZ. No special tricks except for an engine treatment additive and fuel supplement. My log book for 17,000 miles indicates an average of 24 MPG and yet on two trips to the mountains recently I got 40 and 39 mpg. Sounds crazy but its true. Went up the hill to Payson at 90 mph, so I was not pussy footing. On the second trip, coming back I documented 32 mpg, but only because I was stuck behind a Swift Tractor Trailer for 25 minutes while I turned 2500 rpm at 25 mph. Reason for the great mileage: negative friction. Replies to this message: accelerator (May 12, 2008 5:35 am)

Replying to: boblogan45 (May 11, 2008 5:32 pm) I would LOVE to take this car to the mountains! Back in 1995, I drove an acura intregra GS-R once in the base of the rocky mountains in Manitou Springs, Colorado and despite being FWD, it was a total blast!
#20 of 34 Gas Mileage; Advice on New Rear Tires by jkgreer2 Jun 16, 2008 (5:49 am)
To All lucky S2000 owners, I need new rear tires and seek advice on replacements. I do not accelerate aggressively most of time, but I love going around curves (no brakes, Mom). Sam's Club offers the original tires at $200 each, Goodyear Eagle F! tires at about $180 each, and Dunlop tires at about $130 each. Any other suggestions for maximizing handling and performance in rain? My gas mileage ranges from about 22 mpg to about 28 mpg, but who cares due to the way this car handles? Thank you in advance for any tire advice. 2006 S2000 Owner. Replies to this message: accelerator (Jun 16, 2008 7:15 am) jkgreer2 (Jun 18, 2008 6:16 am) estreka (Aug 30, 2008 3:47 pm) and 8 more...
