The solution for the RX-8's fuel guzzling...
...is to get one of these as the commuter car - when (if) it becomes available 
Then you can use the RX-8 for pure fun and not worry about the consumption
The GT version is supposedly capable of 140 mpg
- and still does 0-60 under 9 seconds, top speed is 137.5 mph. All this for about 18 grand. Interesting.

But wouldn't you rather get one of these?
"In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta's 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive® (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling."
