Ah ha! An eager researcher.

I believe you can find the manual online here:
RX-8 Manual PDF

So give it a squizz and you can be ahead of the game.

Cheers,
Simon

Perhaps he plans on driving into Canada or Mexico, or perhaps he just wants to use the same units as everyone else in the world. :p

Well isn't it about time the USA stepped out of the 19th century & took up the metric system like the rest of the world.

Judging by the amount of manufacturers doing KM+MI on the speedo, you can tell that they are trying to warm the public up to updating too.
