It's actually a 1.3L 6-cylinder (three "cylinders" per rotor).

Technically, the shape cant be considered a cylinder. At best, it's some sort of pointy oval shape.

My RX-8 has 4 pistons. It also has 6 rotors.

I only get power from 2 of the rotors and none of the pistons though. Maybe that is why my torque is low.

I fill up every 3 days or so. Though even with these prices, and premium, I am paying less in gas than when I filled up every single day on a 4 banger.... seriously. I don't complain about paying for gas with the 8.

Someone should e-mail him "SEARCH NOOB"

Of course, he probably won't get the meaning
