DD, and track some times....:)
Never have to top off my oil between oil changes. Almost 8 years, still loving it. Start saving for next RX tho. lol |
Mines is also my DD I average about 8-11mpg no joke. Nothing but city driving. Usually its gets better on the highways tho. The car is just so fun to drive that I actually dont mind the mpg.
|
I get about 13mpg city, this thread has made me feel a lot better about that fact lol

Fixed back seat, 6 point harness, cage, no a/c, no stereo, no interior like a baws. It was cool for about a couple weeks lmao... |
My 8 is my daily driver, i love it... Fits like a glove and ive never been in any other car that i have felt more comfortable in, even when i take a 14 hour none stop drives to Daytona Beach.
Matter of fact the bouncy soft feel makes me sick when im driven in my wife's Audi A6 2.7t, or Sonata. |
Mine is my DD and love it every second and penny on gas, i get around 18/20 mpg. only vehicle, and saving to go boosted or swap.
|
Daily therapy more like.

Daily driver here. That was a key selling point for me. 18/25 mpg unless I tear up some back roads. I sometimes miss the 2 seat design of my old RX-7, but otherwise no regrets.

mine was my daily drive, bought it 1 year ago almost put 30,000 miles on it cause i would use any excuse to take a drive, but 3 sets of tires in a year and 3-4 fill ups a week made me get a daily driver.
now it still had to be fun so i picked up a mazdaspeed protege, and blew the motor within a week so my rx8 is my dd again lol |
Rx8 is my daily driver & track whore
|
I drive my 8 EVERY DAY, have had her for 2 months and still stop and stare at her lol. I can walk to work and it would take me 5 mins, I choose to warm up my baby and drive in style.

my 8 is not my dd and gets stored for winter ~6 months a year. i bought it for a toy (bday present to myself. had it for almost 5yrs and its paid off for almost a year. lots of mods lots of money. i dont care about gas prices because my dd beater truck is worse than my 8.
because i dont dd when i do drive it i drive the shit out of it and get ~220mi per tank. i dont care how hard you drive your 8 (unless fi) you should be getting more than 4-8mpg. i think somethings wrong with your car |
i enjoy having you guys over and we will have to plan more meets. keck03 and i have been talking about trying to get a 8 rally together like the mr2 one i co drove with him. it will have to be in the spring tho. lol. mean time its almost ski trip weather
|
I currently use my 8 as a dd, but I might get a crappy $1000 beater for winter, since I'm slightly skeptical on how the 8 will do in snow
|
My RX-8 is my daily driver. I also own an Accord, but it never gets driven, because the RX-8 is so much fun.
The gas mileage doesn't bother me, because I knew exactly what I was getting into when I bought it. |

She was my DD when my commute was almost 40 miles each way, and she's my DD now that my commute is less than ten miles 3-4 days a week. :) |
my DD as well. Just threw her winter shoes on for her 3rd winter season.
|

you need to fix your car man. either something is seriously wrong with your car or you need to go and take math 101 again |
I have an older 2002 F150 rear-wheel drive, V6,4.2L that I drive to do errands or go to work. I hate driving the 8 in bad weather. I work hard to keep the brilliant black clean and I like to keep it that way as much as possible.
|
Yes.
|
Yes, it's my DD and I drive it about 75 miles a day. On my second motor with about 60k on it, 120k miles on the car total....still running like a champ
|
@ Chris... Um, yeah, get it checked.. I get better than that at the track, at 120.....
|
My r3 is my dd. Gas sux but when the car makes you feel like a boss and is a riot to drive, all those worries quickly go away.

Daily driver: 60 miles daily commute during the week, 200 miles round trip on weekends. 61,000 flawless miles so far, consistent 24 mpg average.
I've been looking, but I haven't driven any other cars that would replace this one.... |
