#4 of 34 Admirable for such perfomance... by anythngbutgm Jun 22, 2006 (11:23 am)
At the moment, I have been recording 26mpg but that is mostly backroads, day to day commuting. If I add some highway time into the mix, I can rach the 30's. My best recorded tank was 32mpg, but that was a run from Mass. to Burlington, VT and back.

Replying to: njexpress (Jun 22, 2006 5:50 am) Yes, MPG doesn't really matter for a car like this, but it's still pretty amazing that one can get econocar fuel economy numbers from one of the best reasonably-priced sports cars ever built. Every time I drive my S2000 I have a permanent grin plastered all over my face that money just can't buy. Getting 25 - 30 MPG while I'm sliding the car's tail out on switchbacks lets me add a little Prius-style, holier-than-thou, tree-hugging, granola-crunching, Marin (California)-style smugness to that grin as well.   Who knows, maybe someone may be able to convince a penny-pinching spouse to get an S2000 for the family as a fuel efficient "commuter car" based on this thread!

Replying to: claires (Jun 21, 2006 8:25 am) Always top down. I get 23-24 mpg commuting to work (about 12 miles each way, about 1/2 stop and go and 1/2 freeway). On trips I get 27-29mpg. I drive it like I stole it, or as it was intended to be driven. Mine is an 05, but I owned an 01 previously and got the same mileage.   In contrast, my 05 RX-8 gets 14-15mpg doing the same commute on days I don't drive the S. Both take premium and have similar redlines and power and 6 speed manuals.   Dennis

Replying to: claires (Jun 21, 2006 8:25 am) 2000 model with over a 128K on it. I use to get 30 but I’m now closer to 27-28. I drive 135 miles a day commuting from Culpeper Va. to McLean Va. Half is nice country roads, other half is some of the worst traffic in the US. I fill up every other day and calculate the mileage each time. I’m a spirited driver as well and have no idea how I’m getting the mpg out of it that I do but I’m not complaining.

"   Not yet but I'm working on it. I've been showing her mpg for other cars and the S is looking pretty good to her... The icing though was the Rio Yellow.

#10 of 34 S2000 MPG? by zen_some Nov 19, 2007 (4:53 am)
No. It doesn't [really] matter what the mpg of an S2000 is. It's icing on the cake that you can get it to perform at 30mpg.   I have a 2007. Driving Style? A mix of spirited and normal highway driving.   Worst: 22 MPG. 6K + Shifts, Top Down. Juvenille. Exhilirating. Why I bought the car.   Best: 30 MPG. All shifts under 4K, Top Up, Highway. Adult. Boring.

Replying to: accelerator (May 15, 2007 5:29 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 (7:34 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 8:25 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 5:32 am) estreka (Mar 10, 2008 5:55 am) accelerator (Mar 10, 2008 6:07 am) and 1 more...
