rotary engines are known to be gas guzzlers, the majority rx8s average about 15-17mpg, not good but still 2x better than you, and theres a few unlucky ones that gets 11-14mpg, and few lucky ones that gets 18+mpg.
your case is very abnormal. is your rx8 used? if it is then i guess now we know why the previous owner sold it. definetly look into lemon laws and contact mazda 7.5mpg is rediculous

Typically I will average about 230 miles to a tank. I can get as much as 280 if I drive like a human being and not like an @$$hole, but that isn't any fun at all.
