Live in Newmarket, drive the 404/DVP every morning between 6:30 - 7:15 am all the way to downtown. Funny how I don't complain about traffic anymore to my wife:D

Live downtown... Work downtown... Am downtown!

LIve and work south of Bloor. Funny how seldom I see another 8.

From mississauga, drive downtown TO.....see one almost everyday.....seen in black, silver, blue.....by the way i drive a blue one....

Live in the Beach, work at Dixie/401. Drive a red 8. Seen a couple of other 8's locally, one black, one tit. Anyone here ??

Quick question guys? did any of u guys get ur ecu updated....my dealer had no clue when i asked him about it.....but they have to plug it in and see.....

Another question, how is ur milage situation.....i am getting around 275-347Km/tank the most??

hey S-air ...

About the ecu ..... I never touched mine at all. In regards to the gas milage... I get about 275km from a full tank. When I drive hard I get 200km on a full tank.

I heard u get better throttle response and also there is a change in fuel map.....so bettter milage....but than again only heard about it.....

i need to look into this

I thought this car gives about 400 KM on a full tank? When I went to the dealer they said you should get jsut a bit over 400 but your telling me you get 275km's?

Don't the americans get 200-250miles on a full tank?

Sorry to interrupt this thread.

no man i am sure thats correct.....i am running on 275-350km....this week i pulled exactly 350km.....that with the reserve.....milage sucks....

yup .... same here !

Hi Pete....I'm from Burlington, I right beside Toronto Airport.

I have maybe seen 2 other RX8's other than my own since I bought the car a year ago.....there are only a small count in the Burlington area.

hey deep ,

I've seen a few around. But i don't think it's anyone on this board ...

I'm in Mississauga. I've seen a black one close to my neighbourhood a couple times. There's a silver one at the Clarkson GO station my wife sees frequently and I've see a red one going north on Appleby Line at Hwy. 5 at 5:30 in the afternoon about 3 times. I've seen a few others but these ones I've spotted a few times. Look forward to hearing about a get together with some other members. I'm thinking about bring my car out of storage in time for Easter weekend (weather permitting).

As far a gas mileage goes, I didn't drive it hard at all for the two months I drove it before it went into storage, and I didn't get more than 300 kms. but that wasn't taking it real low into the reserve. Gas mileage was not good at all though.

Since we are discussing the gas mileage again, on a full tank I can get anywhere between 300-450 km depending on how often I use 6th gear. In normal rush hour traffic, 6th gear may seem overkill but it makes a huge difference to the mileage. Revs are around 3000.

The 300 Km per tank comes when you can open her up and live up near 7000revs a lot.

i dont live in Toronto, I live in Winnipeg, but I come to Toronto to visit family for the 2 months I have off the the summer I dont thiink I'll be bringing my 8 down unless there something going on, such as a meet... Winnipeg has nothing really for car shows or meets, World of Wheels/ Mazda Show n Shine.. is there any chance of an 8 meeting during july/august?

DEF a meet in july aug mafia ...... I'll keep you posted

Hey...I am also in Toronto...Eglinton and Jane area. My 8 is Titanim Grey.

I have not seen any 8 around here. I have seen very few on highway going up north to visit my parent.

I must say that my fuel mileage is also suck...280Km to 330km per tank...depending on the how much I use highway.

Does anyone know which Mazda dealer in or around Toronto provides better services to the 8 customers (or at least the service department has more knowledge and experiences on Rotary engine). I am not too happy with the one I got my car from.
