I hope the RSX-S gets better MPG than the normal RSX. My girlfriend lives in a suburb of San Diego and does a TON of highway driving (easily 80%+) and she gets 24 MPG consistently. I even tried replacing the stock air filter with a nice GREEN racing filter, not much difference.

FWIW, she hates her car, it's a rattle box. The interior has nice materials, but poor fit...at least once you get some miles on it. I am very particular about NOT having rattles or buzzing in my cars, and I almost have a melt down in her car. You couldn't even begin to find and fix them because it's everywhere- IN the entire dash, the headliner, door panels, center console, rear hatch... it never ends.

Needless to say, she can't wait to get out of that car... (Oh, it rides like a buckboard too)
