There is only a buck or two difference per tank, between low and high numbers. Why get paid two dollars per tank to drive slow? Might as well not have rx8.

I once managed to accelerate slow for a whole tank, instead of taking off with fast rx8 acceleration every time. I managed to travel 3 more miles than usual before the low fuel indicator came on. Not worth it.

I can't seem to go more than 225 miles before the low fuel light comes on. I drive it hard, I drive it under 4K for a whole tank, it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've tried both premium and regular. So my philosophy is drive hard on the cheapest gas I can find

Old car was 9mpg, RX8 is doing about 15-16mpg (driving like a fool)

I guess I am doing my part to save the planet. With an 80 percent improvement over my last car, this one is almost considered a Hybrid!

I would personally club a baby seal to get 1mpg better gas mileage tho.

Do you BBQ or roast baby seal?
