Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2004Mileage with 6 speed
To anyone with a 6 speed, what kind of mileage have you been getting, and what kind of driving? I'm doing about 80% highway, and I'm getting 28.5 or better on my last 5 fills, which I find to be amazing. > To anyone with a 6 speed, what kind of mileage have you been getting, > and what kind of driving?

LX V6 coupe (auto), and I've seen near 30 on tanks with 80% highway. ||To anyone with a 6 speed, what kind of mileage have you been getting, ||and what kind of driving?

There are Acura owners here too with RSX-S.

[quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Texas Parts Guy Ok, yes you are right, the S2000 is Honda badged with a 6 speed. As a side note, according to the EPA figures for that, 28.5 mixed driving might be really good. Why is the S2000 rated at only 25mpg highway anyway, when the V6 is rated at 30? Same HP, actually the V6 is torquier. Maybe because they had to make some compromises because of the amount of HP they're getting of it?

Check the gear ratios, transmission and final drive, then look at the weight and there should be some hint why the mileage is different. The biggest mileage differentiator is the engine speed at a given car speed, which can be deduced from the transmission and final drive gear ratios. Next after that is the weight that is being pushed. I would be surprised if the S2000 outweighs an accord, so my guess is that the S2000 must be geared more aggressively. ||NOSPAMrex@REMOVEtxol.net (Rex B) wrote in message news:<41011cce.63540678@news.txol.net>... ||> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] ||torquier. Maybe because they had to make some compromises because of ||the amount of HP they're getting of it? Sure. Redline is somewhere around 8500, and it doesn't have much torque, so you probably have to buzz the motor a bit just to get around town. Which is what the target custoemr is going to want that car for anyway. It's also probably geared a little deeper in the rear axle. Texas Parts Guy you obviously are one of the two Texans not driving a slugburban or expectorade. Just the other day I picked up a texan whose Messcalade had run out of gas...perfect! Honda Accord Coupe, Honda S2000, Honda Legend, Honda NSX all have had a 6 speed at some point in production. > Well since this is the Honda newsgroups, I suppose it would be a > Honda.

Except in North America, the Legend and NSX is an Acura. |
