My buddy has an '02 RSX-S, he gets 24 city, 34 on the highway. He doesn't redline it much, but he does drive fast when cruising (90 in a 65). The highway estimate was based on 60 miles a day on the highway for a lil over a year.

jeez guys, thats pretty dissapointing, I average 25mpg on my prelude doing 90% highway driving and a few runs to redline here and there. How low do you have to keep the revs to get decent mileage?
