Interest in Group Buy on Idemitsu Premix? Good Discount
Update: Bryan from Rotorsports Racing called me up today to apologetically back out of the group buy. He is a very nice older guy who spends his days working on RX-7s and he decided it's just not profitable to spend his time shipping Idemitsu.
He will still sell it for $61.95 plus UPS shipping to individuals who email him. He's already calculated shipping costs for each of you that gave me addresses, but he may not want to be inundated with too many orders.
For those who want to save on shipping, if you order in advance, he can bring your order to the Deals Gap Rotary Rally in Nantahala Village in Fontana, North Carolina on April 17-19th.
If you want to order from Bryan, you can contact him directly at:
Tel: 704-933-6222
E-mail: info@RotorSportsRacing.com

Sorry 'bout that, guys, we tried but it just isn't going to happen.

Have been thinking lately about getting some Idemitsu premix to try out.
Given this thread, I'll think about what you wrote and see if I can come up with any real options/suggestions.
But let's just say..............I am interested.

If I didn't also use FP+, I would probably use about 5-6 oz of premix per fill-up. But I use about 3.5 oz of Idemitsu mixed with about 1.5+ oz of FP+ per fill-up. With my typical commuting and frequent fun driving, a case of Idemitsu has lasted me a little less than 2 years or 27,000 miles.
If you track your car a lot, or get really poor gas mileage, you'll use more premix, obviously. Personally, I've averaged about 19 mpg.
Be careful trying to interpret how much premix people use, because some people disable their OMP and add much more premix for each gallon at fill-up. So recommendations in some guidelines assume there is no OMP. But most RX-8 owners keep their OMP operational. Yet some have determined that their OMP is not working that well and they might add more premix for that reason. Others use the AP to increase the amount of engine oil or Sohn adapter premix is 'injected' by their OMP.
At least you didn't ask for shipping costs to your zipcode!

I bought a case from Mazdatrix about 2-3 months ago. I think I used maybe 1-2 quarts so far ?
But hey, add me to the list, I can put them in my basement, not like its gonna rot or anything.
if this GB does go thru, remind me to buy it tho, cuz sometimes I forget things ...
Each box has 12 Quarts. and I use 8 oz each tankful. that means each case is good for 48 tankfuls of gas (for me)
PayPal charges 3% service charge, so Im not so sure if they wanna do that .

HA! That was easy. I googled "cheapest place to buy idemitsu" and this thread popped up. I figured it was an ancient thread that was no longer active but it's from two days ago. Yay! 
Count me in for a case.
