Your ride stop liao, the wing still flying! and that's how u get 400+++ with 55L
and the super wide "Viper" stripes that add another 30HP and when you stop liao
your VIPER stripes still hissing! or is that your tyre punctured???

depends on driving style and type of roads you are normally on.......even manual 6sp can get less than 350 km........i would say 6at is with a 6-port rotary engine....the rest is up to you ........dun believe those salesman....they will tell you anything to get you to buy .........just be prepared to pay more on petrol if you get this car.

Mine (4AT) is 7.2km per litre (my very first tank). I'm still running in my RX8. I'm expecting a 8-8.5km per litre.
As for 6AT, i think the best it can go is 10km per litre (which i think is very good).
Anyway, when you buy this car, you are going for the looks and power, FC is not a concern.

- anyway i am totally agree with mucleman we go for look & power if you decided to buy RX8, just think about it where got sportscar which is economy in FC ? just to share some xperience with all....I started driving in 1989, My1st car RX-7 Savanna=5km/litre, 2.) Levin=7km/litre, 3.)VR4=7km/litre, 4.)silvia=6.5km/litre and people tell me I should buy Honda FC very good ! but i am no-fren of integral, so I brought a CR-V in 2003 and i got 8km/litre, so until now i really dont know what car out there i like which is good in FC ? if the new 6AT RX8 can get 8-10km it would be my best x'mas gift !
but I got some good news for those who care about the 6AT FC, recently I checked with some Japanese car franatic working associates in Japan regarding the 6AT - according to them the emphasis of the new 6AT is what we want to hear ....a better Fuel Consumption ! wah song leow lah this time.....

if i'm not wrong, if you have 2 totally identical cars (assuming all other human, driving pattern and technical factors the same except for the different no of gears)... the one with the high no of gears will always achieve better FC due to the gear ratio?

too bad mine is 4AT....cannot wait for so long
got to get rid of my previous ride ......freaking 1.6 corolla drinking like nobody's business ....420 for a tank

no, the one with high no of gears will always drinks more due to the closer gear ratio. Closer gear ratio means easier to rev higher, rev higher will drinks more.
Closer gear ratio also means that u will be running higher RPM at a constant speed e.g 100km/h compare to longer gear ratio.
take Evo for example. There are 6MT GSR and 5MT RS/GT. FC for 6MT was report as 18/24 MPG; 5MT was 20/27 MPG.

You sure or not?? your 1st statement is true only when your right foot do not adjust to the closer ratio. Example, if 5MT need 30% throttle to hit 4k rpm, you do not 30% throttle on the 6MT, but instead 25% throttle.
your 2nd statement is

Oh... I get it.... your 2nd statement is derived from cars changing their transmission to close ratio. This will only happen if you change to close ratio without increasing the number of gears. The 6MT will always have a better power distribution thru the gears than the 5MT, which will result in better fuel efficiency.
