alrighty people ive heard that the 8's mpg is like wine. it improves with age is this true? if so could someone please elaborate. try not to use really big words cause if i cant read it ill take it as an insulte. jus kidding if possible jus dont make it too complicted. please.

 

Yes, now that my car is 3 years old, it gets 45MPG.

 

Rx8mpg=marital abuse

Only your right foot can change the outcome.

 

dang people what took you guys so long to respond. it usually take 5sec. not 10sec. jus kiddin. well mines a 06 6mt and im preaty sure it gets like 18 and that might be exagagerated alil bit.

 

Wine = good with age

Our MPG = bad at all ages

 

^

 

Must have been difficult to research rx8 MPG.

 

^nope - clearly we need more...

that and - has anybody ever thought about making a thread talking about oil?? someone should make one...

 

Hey guys, I hear this engine isn't reliable....any tips to making it last as long as possible?

 

i knew all about the mpgs before i bought the 8 and could care less how low it is. its jus ive heard this comment a couple of times and was wondering wht they meant or if there was any truth behind it. as for research if there is another post that explains this comment or addresses it jus point the way.

 

I heard this engine self-detonates at precisely 30'000miles.

 

Ive never heard of that before, but I'd find it hard to believe considering your motor is more prone to fail the more miles you tag on. I got worse and worse mpg before the motor finally started losing power and BOOM. Hope this helps, and sry for others non-serious comments....there are a lot of E-thugs on this site

 

It's actually 30,017.4 miles when it self detonates and releases an airborne herpes pandemic

 

....well that answer one question...but raises soooooo many others...

 

actually that's what I've heard too about rotary engines..

 

So that's how I got it........

 

it burns when i breathe??

 

Well you have an 07 so your covered under an extension to 8 years or 100,000 miles. Make sure you keep your oil change and other maint paperwork.

 

my day is now complete

 

rotary blows up every 3 miles, you just dont know it, it can withstand about 10K of these "blow" before it makes a final blow then it stops functional.

then it drinks gas faster than you drink water. it gets about 3mpg on highway, and 4 mpg on streets. yeah, u get more mpg on streets than highway. just like a Prius, thats why its called Prius killer.

 

my engine brings a smile to my face each morning.

 

 

As long as we're talking red wine, white on the other hand should be drank, drunk? young.

 

Hell, gimme any wine. I'll drink it any time

 

Gas money spent on an 8 = might as well be putting wine in the tank
