#4 of 91 Charlotte NC 17+K miles, ave mpg 17 city/22 hwy by flatpick Jun 13, 2005 (2:30 pm)
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!

Replying to: gambit_rx8 (Aug 25, 2005 11:24 am) I have a little over 1,200 miles now and I am getting 14-15mpg commuting to work. It is about 15 miles each way with about 1/2 stop and go and part 45-55mph. I tried a couple of tanks of mid-grade Chevron with no (apparent) ill effects on performance, but not increase in fuel economy - but it did cost a little less to fill up.   Mine is a 6mt w/GT.   Dennis
#11 of 91 My 2nd MPG report by mba2dna Nov 02, 2005 (12:21 am)

#12 of 91 highway mileage on well broken in rx8 by tomatnavy Nov 03, 2005 (3:51 pm)
After 12000 miles of commuting to and from work I finally took a 1000 mile road trip. I drove up to san francisco using 5th gear as my final one.On this segment I averaged 19-20mpg. Very little difference from what I get commuting[18-19mpg].But I got stuck in LA traffic some.For the return trip I used 6th gear as the final drive--here I averaged 20-21.5mpg. Not much difference considering this segment is with the wind.
