Go down to the "Vehicle Description" which is below the first Big picture, and the small pictures you can click to enlarge right under the big one.

Read what they say about the gas mileage (its the 3rd piece of info in the "vehicle description" section) , and post away.

I don't see what you guys are on about. I hear the 4-cyl RX-8 gets great mileage.

Am I the only one that's noticed that it's a Shinka, for $24K (no reserve either)... for a 2005 with 8K miles? Maybe *I'm* nuts, but that sounds like a great price.

That doesn't make it any less funny. Note that they made NO attempt to call attention to the problem. If I were selling a rotary somewhere where they forced me to list a wrong number of cylinders, you better believe that I'd find somewhere to put, in big letters, "NO, it's NOT a 4-cylinder, it's a rotary engine, but this fool site doesn't let you specify that." As they have it, the casual reader WILL think its a 4-banger.
