My '85 S2 gets around 11 mpg around town. That works out to about 21 liters/100km.

-If you drive primarily in town, your fuel consumption will go through the roof. A car engine needs an enormous amount of fuel to accelerate to 100 km; staying there takes only about 20% of the fuel it takes to get there!

Listen, these are BIG engines. This car was designed for one purpose: fast transportation. The large engine can handle the heat of continuous 250 km/hr driving, but you pay for that large engine whenever you are driving through a town. I typically use 21 liters of fuel for every 100 km here in south Florida. On the interstate highway, it goes down and I can approach 11 liters/100 km, or about 21 miles per gallon. I rarely drive on the the interstate, so I pour gas into this car. Of course, though I drive it most days....it only sees about 2500 miles per year.

Listen- if it is using this amount of fuel...I would do a good tune-up on it and leave it at that. If it is using more fuel than my 310 hp S2....then something is wrong and you need to start looking. If your car smells like an old truck at stop lights...that is a sure sign that you are running WAY rich.

Good luck!
