What kind of gas mileage (actual) does the 97+ Prelude SH get?
I'm thinking about getting one but with high gas prices and everything I was wondering if they get what's claimed. Some guy in my class says he has one and that it gets about 15mpg but I think it's because he drives like a ricer? My RX7 got about half the claimed EPA mileage and that was with a stock engine. It's almost $3.00 for premium where I live and my commute is over 50 miles one way.

There is a whole huge gas mileage thread, but just to make it a little easier, I have a 4th gen prelude with an H22 just like the SH has, and even when driving semi aggressive (getting on it, hitting vtec, blah blah) I still get about 27 MPG

-> 28mpg highway to the drop between Minneapolis, MN and Atlanta, GA (1100 miles).
I made the calculation every fuel stop. Average highway speed 70-80mph.
