18/25 IS great for such sports car and it definitely gets a LOT better MPG than a RX8. It may not get as good MPG as the FRS/BRZ but hey FRS/BRZ runs on Prius tires, has less HP, and they are about 13 years newer than the S2000.
You are looking into buying a sports car and crying about the MPG figures of 18/25???? Go buy a Prius C and call it a day. How are you ever going to go to a track event when your MPG will drop significantly?
I'm not at all mocking FRS/BRZ, i think they are great cars. But calling 18/25MPG horrible on a sports car that screams 9000rpm is just wrong.
Now the RX8s get HORRIBLE MPG. Go check it out on RX8club.com. :happy0180:

I am very late to the game here, but I wanted to comment on this topic since I have personal experience. I have a 2003 stock AP1 S2000. While my DD was in the shop, I had to DD the S2K for a week and a half. For fun (or for no fun), I decided to see how high I could get my mpg. My commute is all city, 25 minutes each way. I managed to get 26 mpg.
No, I didn't mis-type that. It's what I got. Granted it was no fun at all, and I might as well have treated it like a Civic. In case you're curious, all highway, I've only managed 28.4 mpg. So if you want good mpgs, it's possible, but you might as well by a Civic/Corolla :happy0180:
