OK, I have a 2004 6speed RX-8 with only 7600 miles on it. before my first oil change, I got significantly worse gas milage, around 15 mpg around town, and BARELY 20mpg on the highway. After my first oil change and the engine getting broken in a bit, I am getting 18-19 in mostly town driving. Mostly highway, I have been getting around 24 1/2 or so. on the highway, I tend to drive around 70-75mph. I'm happy with it, because it's such a fun car to drive!

Replying to: wpavlik2 (Jun 02, 2005 11:12 am) I am a a VERY happy owner of a Nordic Green AT RX8 - have had it since October, '93. I keep a detailed mileage log - so far have driven a total of 8,075 miles - used 443 gals of premium gas - average to date is 18.23 - lowest on one fill was 14.67- highest for a filling has been 23.24. Definitely get the high mileage in good weather - all highway driving - the lows when only in town trips. BUT - why worry about mileage when you can drive such a superb car ?? Want 40 miles a gallon ? - Buy a Yugo. Want the most fun you can have with your clothes on ? Get the RX8 - never had more fun in 53 years of driving ! ! ! Cheers~ Bob - Cheshire, CT

Purchased Oct 2003 Velocity Red 6MT All Options but spare tire. Daily Drive of approx 24 miles (4 X 8 short jaunts) 10/2003 - 5/2004 15-17mpg 6/2004 - 12/2004 16-17 mpg 1/2005 - current 17-18 mpg hwy trips of 100 miles or more 20-22 I'd have to say it drinks gas...yep....more than I expected, its fun to drive, but sure would have been nice to have gotten a true reflection of gas consumption from MAzda or EPA.

and report my MPG report at 13000 miles, my '04 6 speed RX-8 has an overall average of 20mpg in mostly 50/50 mixed stop-n-go and highway driving. I'm not complaining, the car is just so much fun to drive! |

of my new 6MT is around 16-17 mpg, city driving.
