I <3 t3h 8 club...

 

 

He actually got something right. If you have a Civic or a Prius or a SmartCar, you think in terms of "miles per gallon."

For us, it's definitely more like "miles per gallons."

don't feed the trolls...

 

Not to be troll like.... but honestly the mpg varies from 12-30??

 

hahaha oh man, lol. you are going to fit in just fine around here.

 

that's right. and sometimes you get milky frothy foam on the end of your dipstick also. welcome to the wonderland of rx-8

 

You can get 30 mpg out of a healthy renny, doing 55 in 6th gear with a slight downwards grade and a bit of luck. Doing 90 in 3rd going the other direction you'll be getting 12 and burning a quart of oil every 50 miles if you're lucky.

It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.

I'd rather be getting 12mpg then 30 in this car. If you're getting 30 you may as well have bought a prius for all the hyper-mileing you'll be doing.

 

Synthetic oil you say ............

 

damn mazda, creates a fun car, but made its mpg like SUV

 

haha i get 13-15, thats from driving "normal" when i drive crazy (8.5-9krpm per gear) then looking at probabbly 8mpg

 

My RX8 does not use the typical MPG system you are so used to. This car uses the SPG system, or Smiles Per Gallon. The higher you keep the RPMs the more SPGs you get. The tighter the corners are and the closer they are together also greatly improves SPG. City driving and highway driving provide descent SPG ratios, but when the roads get all twisty like, I have never seen a car get more SPGs than this thing.

I have never and will never calculate how many MPGs I get or have gotten. I don't care, that's not why I bought this car. If MPGs are more important than SPGs, buy a Prius.

 

lol . i always find your attemps a major fail. but lambo, Ferrari gets like what 7-10 MPG?

 

nicely put, couldnt agree more.

 

I was thinking "Meters Per Gallon"

 

Dude, an 8 can totally take a turbo cobalt.




Oops, wrong troll thread.

 

I can see it now...

Jap 1: HOOoYY! Rets make ah cah dat ish FEWN buh ish bah on GASH!

I don't think that is remotely close to the correct accent...maybe with a mix of boston accent and a speech impediment on top...but still

 

I premix w/ idemitsu and i get 23mpg higway at 80-85 mph when i keep it under 4k ive seen 26 in my car, so i don tknow if premix has anything to do w/ tht but you can bet on 19-24 mpg on the interstate keeping it under 80mph or 4krpm

 

69.

 

^always great

 

You have to ask How much fun per gallon (FPG). Probably more than any other sportcar like this. It's a blast.

 

They should measure it in TUPG (thumbs up per gallon). It gets ALOT of those. LOL

 

Last time I filled up was 14mph best I've ever EVER seen was 24.5 or so that was 100% highway setting cruise at 72mph in 6th
