I just bought my Titanium Grey GT 8 last month and I have a few questions that I hope you all could answer.

First off what is the Octane gas that you reccomend for the vehicle? I have been using 91 but the gas mileage is incredibly low 13.1 city 16 hwy.

Second off is there a way to get the blue lighting to stay on while driving or is this just a pre-ignition setting?

Third is the speed edition of the 8 giong to also be an after factory mod that you can put into your current RX?

Thanks for any help and thanks for all the information I have already learned on this board keep the info flowing.

:)

First, 93 is recommended. You can get away with lower, but 93 is the recommended octane. Search here for this, lots of threads that relate.

Second, no. It's only pre-ignition. Good question though, I don't remember that one being asked before...

Third, MazdaSpeed? They're doing after factory add-on's so far. They're working on the "Mazdaspeed RX-8", which will have the whole ball of wax, and will be out in a year or so. No turbo yet. No turbo from anybody yet, unless I've not been paying enough attention lately.
