It's crazy, I mean if you searched and then still had questions or needed guidance that is one thing. But to start a thread on multiple questions that have been asked a billion times and expect us to just give you the info is just ridiculous.

I dunno, it just seems like lately they are coming out of the woodwork. This is a database of information people need to learn to use it.

Oh hell, If people did not post these questions, Most of you guys would never have a reason to post! You need something to whine about.

 

yeah, hence the ideas like you shouldn't be allowed to start a new thread until at least xx hours or xx posts on the site.

op - just search instead of post

 

With fuel scheduled to hit 3.50, 4, 4.50/gal this spring/summer, you'd better get used to it.

I personally think the blue/red rx8 banner should be replaced with a picture of a printed page that shows "rx8club.com rated MPG 15 city/20 highway, yes this is normal" as big as will fit.

 

****, 100miles to 1/2 a tank is good. Wait till your driving like an *** in a city. You might get 60 miles to 1/2 a tank if your lucky. lol

 

Oh no's you didn't!!!

Yeeech .... sub'd for the show

 

I can always gauge my driving that way. Full tank, zero miles, 3/4 tank, 50 miles. 1/2 tank, 100 miles, 1/4 tank, 150 miles. Empty, 200 miles. less than that and I've been driving like a jackass in the city. That much exactly and I've been driving like a grandma in the city. More than that and I've been on the highway a lot.

 

You just described the exact thought process that goes through my head every time I look at my fuel guage lol.

On another note, this just reminds me how much I hate my damn commute to work. I could be getting significantly better gas mileage if those d!#k head traffic flow designers wouldn't have designed it so I hit every damn stop light on the way. It never fails, every single morning I hit all the same exact stop lights. Maybe if our nation wants to start conserving fuel we should fire all those idiot traffic flow people.

(Sorry if anyone here actually does that for a living lol)

 

OP i posted the link to the heater repair for you in your other thread. you have got to start helping youself. or people are going to get even more impatient

 

DIY is easy, doesn't take that long and its so worth it. But as these guys said you mpg is normal. If u drive highway all the time its a lil different but not much. Yes these guys are dicks but they know what their talking about.

 

You posted in one of your previous threads that you did search for things, but since there were so many results, you wanted to ask for personal help.

Since there were so many previous threads, people get sick of repeating the same things over and over.

I've been here and had my 8 for a month now, and I've made less than ten posts. Because I've spent the entire month scouring the archives for invaluable information.

<snark>
Except I still haven't decided on an oil viscosity or premix strategy.

Man I think i can complain, I get 60miles per half tank and 130 miles to a tank, lol

 

damn that sucks. Tune up? Use seafoam?

 

I think the rules of simple physics are to blame here.

Winter fuel mixtures, cold ambient temps, colder denser air...............................

 

I did a lot of research before making my purchase. I was doing some intense reading for about 3 months before I finally decided it was what I was going to get (always wanted the car though).

So yeah, I was saddened by the MPG (I'm getting anywhere between 17 and 18 combined city and highway), but it is what it is, and the car is worth it.


If you didn't research it, then I'm sorry.

 

Not sure probably a mix of winter and my ms spoiler facing up probably creating lots of drag. I hear about sea form , have to do my research on what it exactly is, plus yeah I'm fire for my 44000 km check up

Try this, and i was running in winter and getting decent mpg. Thats just way to low. Good luck, hope you get it back up.

 

Think we lost him?

 

^ oh yeah

 

Good idea.

 

Damn! Lost another one!

 

When you do your seafoam, just make sure you hide your car across the street from the nearest fire department and then watch the show

 

HA I am so doing that

 

Attention Noob:

If people were not lazy bastards and did not constantly ask the same questions over and over and over then information would be much easier to find. Everyone is free to post what they want, that doesn't mean that I am not going to bust their ***** about it. It the forum way, I was a forum noob many years ago, life there was the same way if not worse.
