Actually George, I wouldn't say you'd get bad mileage until you enter vtec. we got 27-30mpg in craig's car at 5000-5500rpm towing a trailer with some redline bursts.. so even above 5000 (but not in vtec all the time) mileage isn't all that bad.

In VTEC constantly I get ~6-7mpg in my GS-R. (vtec constantly == road course use)

 

The Type R is very reliable (just like any other Honda). I have 75,000 daily driven miles on my 2001 ITR.

 

Damn - your now ahead of me :twisted: I'm at 106,200 abusive driving....this week I bought a beater so I'll never catch up now

 

6-7?? I got 12mpg at BeaveRun (both days, same mpgs), and average 10mpg at Gingerman Raceway.

I guess I'm letting off the gas early or something!! :P

 

I used to get that crappy mileage too until I did some additional fuel tuning. Now I'm up to 9.5-10mpg on most road courses...

That sure beats having the engine cut out rounding a corner with only 81 miles on the odometer from a full tank :shock:

 

Wow! You guys drive a *lot*. I only manage around 8-9k/year on my cars.

I dunno.

My consumption on the track is closer to yours.

13 miles per gallon at Summit Point last Friday. It was raining a lot, though.

 

George,
I think it depends on the course somewhat.

At beaveRun, which I found to be a faster course (more time on the gas than going on/off, mostly because of the back straight/front straight) than Gingerman, I got exactly 12mpg both days, and I got faster every session. (Although my instructor didn't seem to think I was doing good at all in any session. =()

Two seperate events at gingerman and I got exactly 10mpg, tighter course, more severe turns.

And I'm untuned... I'd love to see what the difference (if any) would be between tuned and untuned....

6-7 on the 12 hours of sebring course.

10 or so on the sebring club course
little less than 10 on homestead, etc.

sebring long course OWNS gas.

 

50k on my car 10k of that in the last month... working 2hrs away from home putting on close too 300 miles a day on the freeway.....
5th gear 4200-4250 rpm= 76mph \getting 30mpg on fresh rebuild on
all stock motor less ctr cams comptech ecu and a vAfc ...
i know every bolt of my car and i would hop in it and drive to NY and back and not even worry about it breaking down....
Hondas are kinda like diesel's they run run and run .. and they dont break unless there well used...
