low mileage on rx8?
 

hey everyone...i got a manual rx8 but some reason it only gives me around 400KM per every tank i filled up... so im just wondering is everyone the same as me?? or is there anyone that gets more than 400km for their tank???

Heya.

400 km, eh?

Just a couple of questions: What percentage of city/highway driving per tank? Idling time in rush hour?

Around the city, I'm lucky to see 300km when the light comes on at ~1/8th tank. On the highway, cruising, 400 is likely.

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Unless... you spend all day under 3,000 revs. Then, you are setting yourself up for trouble - at least as far as carbon build up in the rotors, and gum in the lower intake - neither of which you want. Note that engine replacement often results from 'babying' the Renesis.

Don't complain with 400km per tank. Did you not read what the MPG is on this car before you bought it?

"1.3 liter" can be deceiving when it comes to gas mileage. But no one usually looks at MPG unless they're buying a prius or smart car... otherwise 400km per tank is good.

you'll get about 450km all highway driving.

a mix of city/highway 400 is about what i get.

don't worry, hopefully soon the economy will crash and gas will be back down to 70 cents/L

otherwise get a siphon kit and go around every 3rd or 5th night and get some gas.

actually...is more highway then city..but i do try to drive at around 3000rpm since u save more gas that way..

i got 145miles before my gas light turned on lol.

i got 25 miles on the first 1/4 tank this tank!!! so thats like 150 a tank haha

your really lucky to see 400 i get 235 max so i wouldn't complain

I will volunteer to do the "another MPG thread?" comment.

Another MPG thread? :)

^ lol I wonder if people will ever learn about the search button

yeah there should b like a test you have to take....give you an outline of the page to study and some rules and regulations then take a "quiz" and you have to get such a high score or u cant' post haha j/k

400 is good, i get about 460 km's per tank but i used to get around 540 km's per tank before the last flash. I just hope they bring back a new flash to bring back my mileage.
