17/22.

And that's based on the "new" EPA numbers. High 20s/low 30s aren't unheard of.

So essentially S2000 mileage?

We did quite a bit of maintenance to it as we sold it though... cooling system flush, brake system flush, and transmission fluid flush.
yea, but I plan not to get it done there. There's a mech in D.C. who has been working on the NSX for a long time. Heard he opened his own shop, so I might plan to take it there.

When you say "we," as in you and your buddies did it at home, or you got it serviced somewhere else?

i saw the DIY on the tranny flush, it looks very tedious.

I never really calculated my exact mpg, but it feels good when you romp on the gas pedal and the gas needle barely moves at all

Actually, now that I think of it we didn't do the cooling system - only the transmission, oil, and put it back to stock. I had Dave (Grease Monkey) do all the work, as I didn't have time to before the car was scheduled to be delivered to new owner.

The new owner had a local (to him) shop do the Brake Fluid. He's located in Raleigh. I may get that name for the DC guy from you if I could. My old NSX needs a timing belt later this year, so I can drop the new owner a recommendation.
