There are many types of 'better'. Considering the trend towards smoother more economical engines with lower emissions these days, I doubt a Type S engine would be more aggressive than a B18C engine. It should be softer, more gentle. Some evidence to the fact is that the DC5 Type R engine (JDM 162kw) isn't much more powerful than the DC2 Type R engine (JDM 147kw, 15kw less) even though it's way newer and displaces 200ccs more. 147/1.8*2.0=163.33, so the DC5's power per ltr is actually slightly less than the DC2 Type R engine.

The DC5 should be more economical than the DC2. The car is heavier, but as you say the engine is newer. So anyone with a Type S who drives similar to me should get the same or better economy.

I drive modified DC2 Vtir and i can get up to 500Km per tank, mixed driving, freeway and city, driving normal and few races here and there ...

I think its all got to do with the car being properly tuned, looked after, serviced every 5-7000K and also using best fuel.

I also dragged a new Type r with few mods and bet it. . So my car is not a bug.

when driving any car from 3 cylinder lawnmower to v12, as soon as you put load on it, then it will cosume more fuel.

load is basically pushing the pedal down more then required.

the trick is to get the car up to the desired speed with a moderate amount of gas, once there keep the acceleration within the rev range (example 2500 to 3500) and you should be fine.

the more you put load on it at such a low rev or high gear, the more it will drink and this fuel will go straight through the exhaust buddy.
