fuel efficiency report

I found some guys who posted their impressions on their rx-8s in Japan.

I picked up the fuel efficiency from those reports.
I think those who posted their impressions are under their running in. So, the below numbers would not be so correct as of now.

case1)
9.4 km/l , total 400km , 1500-3500rpm , expressway + city, 250ps 6MT

case2)
9.3 km/l , total 1000km , 5000rpm , expressway + city
(8 km/l , city area)
(13 km/l , at 110km speed , expressway)

case3)
9.2 km/l , total 479km

case4)
7.6 km/l, total 300km, ? , 250ps 6MT

case5)
10.5 km/l, total 500km, 3500rpm, 250ps 6MT, expressway

case6)
6.3 km/l, 250ps 6MT, city (including traffic jam)

Edit: add case4
Edit: add case5/case6

Some conversions for you guys:

9.4 km/l = 22.1 mpg, total 400km , 1500-3500rpm , expressway + city area


9.3 km/l = 21.9 mpg, total 1000km , 5000rpm , expressway + city area
(8 km/l = 18.8 mpg, city area)
(13 km/l = 30.6 mpg, at 110km speed , expressway)


9.2 km/l = 21.6 mpg, total 479km

It's $5 (US) per US Gallon here in the UK folks (£0.80p/litre). Aren't you happy you don't live here!

US$2/gallon. No wonder the europeans drive smaller cars. I wish gas was $5/gallon here so that people would stop buying SUV's.

There are a lot of BBS in Japan, I found these reports in 2 or 3 of them. But, the most big bbs for the rx-8 is here.

Yep, we have narrower roads, permanent gridlock, nowhere to park in our overcrowded cities and expensive fuel. Marvellous!

...and to think, the S6 13B would get 18mpg if you were really nice to it
