Just added up my gas bill... Better than I thought it would be, $508.35. 
High for the trip was 3.89 and low was $3.19 for super. Cool thing is TX has 93 oc. 
Got about 22 mpg avg with ac on, best tank was 24 and worst was 20. Only used 1/2 qt of oil for almost 3200 miles and 12 autox runs.

east & mid TX has 93 octane, it drops to 91 octane once you get above a certain elevation in the western part of the state
and desolate TX interstate west of San Antonio (I-10) is 80 mph during daylight hours, the one thing that does suck there is the night speed limit drops 5 mph over the daylight limit

MPG has not been a big issue for us and we do not seem to use much oil. When we ran the track day I think I used half as much oil as mp5 in his 2004.

My RX8 also doesn't burn much oil...at least not as much as I was led to expect!
MPG isn't bad, compared to my Winnebago, but is ridiculous for a car of the RX8's capabilities.
Unfortunately, the gas mileage may prove to be too much for the rotary to overcome in the marketplace, longer term...which is too bad, they are interesting motors. I still prefer a pushrod V8, though
