I get 270 - 280 when I'm mostly on the highway driving a consistent pace. But that is with the light coming on. In town then forget about it. 15 - 16 mpg

 

i'm about 18 most of the time but usually don't let it get too low. once i'm over 200 miles i start looking for a station. hehe

 

I just figured 18 because I like to plan high cost for things just in case. Worse that happens is I get better than 18mpg.

 

Anyone know the status of whether they are going or not yet? I still really want to go, I am tempted to fly and rent a car. Hopefully I can get a Mazda 3 or something.

I can't both afford the time off work and the gas. I checked the prices on tickets on virgin air and it's like $120-180 pre tax to go there and back depending on the flight time and day.

I primarily want to go see the 787B, so bringing my all stock RX-8 doesn't really contribute anyway. I also have some friends to visit in SoCal, so trying to kill a few birds with one stone.

 

Make sure you arrive in L.A. Fri morning guys so you can do go-karting with teh so-cal guys

Will be a blast. There are MANY people down there willing to pick you up from the airport and schlup you around if you decide not to bring your 8.

Hope to see you guys there!

 

Another option is ride down with someone and split the gas money. It does not help gas is already $40 per fill up. If it gets to $50+ than I may not go.

 

i fill on about $37, and damn im glad i live in so.cal!

 

It is $3 per here and last fill up I needed 13.5 gallons.

 

dam, $400 for gas to ss, put ur car in a shipping container, and put it on a train... SS is way worth it , all the rotaries and the 60+RX8 caravan from so cal making all the people saying WTF why are there all these same cars on the freeway? :-) , epic!!!!!

 

About that for the guys coming from Seattle, WA if the gas is $4 per.

At the current price coming from Portland, OR, it would cost me around $280 round trip. If the price jumps to $4 per then it would be around $365. Of course this does not include food, hotel, drinks and what ever else

 

i hope to see you all here!!!

 

bump. who's going?

 

Are you considering going? I wasn't going to, but now I'm thinking I might spur of the moment try and go since it looks like I won't be doing the Australia trip.

 

not going but for those driving - iv'e hit 342 miles on a tank headed there several years ago. that was at 70+ the whole tank :

 

maybe. trying to figure out my plans today actually.

 

I definitely out. If you guys go be sure to take lots of pics!

 

So you going? If you decide to drive down... I'd probably be willing to head down Thursday night/Friday morning and split the gas and driving. Text me tomorrow and I'll start talking to my... boss... the hierarchy immediately above me is a bit confusing ATM, not sure who I report to right now

 

i should know by tomorrow. it's either socal for ss or bc for mountains with some friends.
