Canadian RX-8 fuel consumption
Hi everybody!
Ok there’s my MPG from a RX-8 GT 2004, Canadian car with 4,801 Km (2,982 Miles) at the departure.
Cruising speed = 110 Km/h = (68.3 MPH)
Ottawa – Montréal = 189 Km ( 117.43 Miles)
Gas = 19.25 L (4.23 Gallons)
So, 117.43 Miles divided by 4.23 Gallons = 27.7 MPG

No BS! I was with my wife and 2 kids (11 and 6) in the back. All the systems TCS etc. were ON.
The only thing I can think of, is the anti-pollution system. Maybe we don’t have the same norms in Canada (?????)
It would be interesting if another Canadian member gave us his MPG.

Well, there’s the difference! US gallon are smaller than the Imperial gallon. So if you do 23 mpg with a US gallon and we do 27.7 mpg with Imperial gallon, as far as I’am concern, it’s excellent!
So if you want your mpg to go up, come to Canada for a beer!!! That’s it!

Were metric so why are you even bothering with the conversion unless you want to compare it to the US numbers we see posted all of the time? Regardless, I get pretty much the exact same numbers as you on the highway . . . it is a lot worse in the city though!

Well iamcanadian I been brought up with gallons, ounces, quarts and so on. For me 9.2 L / 100 Km means nothing especially if I want to compare with guys in MPG!!!!
Anyway I don’t care for the MPG, otherwise I would have a Toyota Prius or a scooter!

Do you know why we are in the $%?&&* metric?
We went metric when they raised the price of fuel!
So it’s look better 0.80 cents a liter than $3.60 a gallon!
But for old people like me (50), we still going with feet and gallon!
