Update: Bryan from Rotorsports Racing called me up today to apologetically back out of the group buy. He is a very nice older guy who spends his days working on RX-7s and he decided it's just not profitable to spend his time shipping Idemitsu.

He will still sell it for $61.95 plus UPS shipping to individuals who email him. He's already calculated shipping costs for each of you that gave me addresses, but he may not want to be inundated with too many orders.

For those who want to save on shipping, if you order in advance, he can bring your order to the Deals Gap Rotary Rally in Nantahala Village in Fontana, North Carolina on April 17-19th.

If you want to order from Bryan, you can contact him directly at:

Sorry 'bout that, guys, we tried but it just isn't going to happen.

 

Have been thinking lately about getting some Idemitsu premix to try out.
Given this thread, I'll think about what you wrote and see if I can come up with any real options/suggestions.

But let's just say..............I am interested.

 

how much does a case contain? i assume we buy one case each. how many miles will a case last?

 

Case is 12X 1QT bottles...or 12X 32 Oz

So depending on how much you add.....that's about 50+ tanks of fuel.....

I bought a case a year ago and have some left.....

 

You can buy more than one case if you want. Each case has 12 quarts. Each quart has 32 fluid ounces. People use different amounts per fill-up.

If I didn't also use FP+, I would probably use about 5-6 oz of premix per fill-up. But I use about 3.5 oz of Idemitsu mixed with about 1.5+ oz of FP+ per fill-up. With my typical commuting and frequent fun driving, a case of Idemitsu has lasted me a little less than 2 years or 27,000 miles.

If you track your car a lot, or get really poor gas mileage, you'll use more premix, obviously. Personally, I've averaged about 19 mpg.

Be careful trying to interpret how much premix people use, because some people disable their OMP and add much more premix for each gallon at fill-up. So recommendations in some guidelines assume there is no OMP. But most RX-8 owners keep their OMP operational. Yet some have determined that their OMP is not working that well and they might add more premix for that reason. Others use the AP to increase the amount of engine oil or Sohn adapter premix is 'injected' by their OMP.

At least you didn't ask for shipping costs to your zipcode!

 

TO GET THINGS STARTED.....


I'd buy a case

 

As would I..............if I wasn't clear enough.

 

I bought a case from Mazdatrix about 2-3 months ago. I think I used maybe 1-2 quarts so far ?

But hey, add me to the list, I can put them in my basement, not like its gonna rot or anything.

if this GB does go thru, remind me to buy it tho, cuz sometimes I forget things ...

Each box has 12 Quarts. and I use 8 oz each tankful. that means each case is good for 48 tankfuls of gas (for me)

PayPal charges 3% service charge, so Im not so sure if they wanna do that .

 

Gimme a case! :D

 

Thanks for reminding me--the 3.5% PayPal fee is included. I added this to the original post.

 

I really hope this takes off. GOOD deal.

 

I still have like 9 bottles left, but I guess it's a good price. Count me in.

 

1 case for me.

 

Add a case for me too.

 

Add me to the list for a case. I'm down to my last 5 quarts from a case I bought a year and a half ago.

 

1 case for me, please. Thanks for doing this!

 

canadians accepted?

 

id get a case as well please

 

I'll take a case as well so count me in.

 

Count me in, lets make it 24+!

 

interested in a case

 

Dang....this is a good deal.

Too bad I still have about 2/3 of my Idemitsu case and about half the bottle left of my FP Plus.

 

Count me in for one case!

 

HA! That was easy. I googled "cheapest place to buy idemitsu" and this thread popped up. I figured it was an ancient thread that was no longer active but it's from two days ago. Yay!

Count me in for a case.

 

One case here to
