I used to get about 240-260 miles per fill before my gas light would go on. 240 miles was about average with 2-3 redline pulls from 2nd - 3rd gear as I get onto the freeway every day. I cruis at about 80-85 mph on the freeway.

For some reason, my last 3 fills last me for 278, 281, 285 miles before the light came on. I have not changed the way I drive. I know most of you are thinking, "Well, thats a good thing right?" and it is. However, its just so sudden and my last 2 motors started to run really strong before they poped. Is there anything documented about our cars suddenly gaining MPG?

I have a 2004 with 81000 miles on it. Ive applied an MM tune for about 1.5 months now and ive had BHR coils for about 5 months. I did not notice any change in MPG when I first applied the tune and coils so I dont think its that.

I wouldn't complain about that....HAHAHAHA

plain ole wanker

Sounds like it's time for new engine.

hmm, what exactly is the point of this thread anyway ?

You shouldn't redline it every day. Run it up to 8,000 for carbon, but redlining causes main bearing failure.

Welcome to rx8club.com, it happens to be a forum. A sudden jump in MPG without any mods or difference in driving is questionable and it is worth posting. If you want me to explain how to wipe your *** or anything else elementary then shoot me a PM to save yourself from any further embarrassment.

hmm, then exactly what is the point of this thread then? you still haven't answer it smarty.

so omg there is no problem with my 8, now I think that's a problem, I should make a thread out of it ?

ur utter bs just wasted as much space & time. might as well just shut up. thx

we also need to put in some naaawwwzZZzzzz

on the serious side, redlining it does not cause bearing failure. its the lack of lube that causes failure.

wtf. i struggle to hit 200 per tank, generally about 190 when the light comes on, and i drive EXACTLY the way you posted.

every engine is hand build by different people.

every rotor weights different

every engine has different seal clearance.

and a lot of difference

so every engine will have different life/mpg/characteristic/power

My first 3 engines were crap and I would be happy to reach 180 mi / tank. My last one has lasted 2x as long as any of the others and I regularly get over 200 mi / tank and have reached 300.

Read my post again man, I totally did answer why it's a good thread.... If you don't like it then read something else, what's the point of flaming his thread? You are wasting your own time dumb ***.

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

if I go all highway I can go at least 240 a tank

wait a minute, another mpg thread? wtf ???

8upbad

iTrader: (3)

lol so yeah, every motor is different, WTF does that have to do with a sudden jump with no explanation? No difference in mods OR driving habbits....

how u know there was no difference ?

you do know that couple seconds of WOT equals to about 1 minute of cruising right ?

so just that couple of seconds of WOT extra every day or 2 will kill your MPG.

but on the OTHER hand, if u do WOT for a couple seconds less you will get better MPG.

Can you be 100% sure you will be doing exact same amount of time of driving every day ?

what about different weather ?

higher and lower temp will also effect your mpg.what about gas station ?

what about passengers ? tons of other factors.


You can go ahead and argue till whenever, but I will just repeat the same thing. so in the end, the car is normal, this thread is useless. end of story.

Well I don't want to argue with someone so closed minded. All I can say is that not every thread will be your favorite. If he sees it as a concern and the rest of is would like to debate it and you don't like it, do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut and move on to the next thread.
But seriously, if you think weather and passengers and 1/2 second more throttle warrants a mpg jump like that then you don't know the basics and you should read more and bitch much less. Try and learn. At least your subscribed now and you have a chance.

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

rofl, I guess you're the one that needs to get a clue.

so increasing/decrease passenger doesl not effect weight?

some people found water in their tank, and guess where those water came from, gas station.

what about a heavy/light right foot ?

did he ever report back? is it really a permanent increase? do u know ?

nope, everything just came out straight from ur ***.

btw, u reminded me, this is a forum, I can post my opinion right? hmm my post might be useless, but yours is the same if not worst.

for the record, I never subscribe to any thread. smarty

8upbad

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you didn't read anything he or I wrote. He keeps track of his mpg just like you do (13 mpg lol) and if this were normal, he wouldn't have started the thread!!! Holy ****! And if you don't subscribe then you must just check to see what I write every 10 minutes. Thank you.

err ok, yea I think I read that part way before u did ?

and Im sure a moron like you didn't pay attention to this part

in case you dunno, there is a enrichment table in the ECU. I dunno what MM did to the tune but the ECU will build this trim over time, sometimes in a day, sometimes weeks, sometimes months. depends on your driving condition. so that might explain why he is getting slightly better MPG over time.

also, as far as I know MM tune will turn the OMP rate up. which results in better sealing. so yeah, that might help to get him a bit better mpg overtime, cuz the ECU sense better combustion from the Front O2 sensor = better a/f ratio = better mpg. get it ?

will it go back down later? maybe. again, it depends on driving condition. so my point is still "valid".

yours? what a bunch of worthless CrapppPPP. Thank you come again.

Yeah, 13 mpg. cuz I have to stop every 10-20 seconds. try that on your own smart one.

don't need to keep checking this thread, cuz Im doing my work while watching TV while checking other post and help people. you? hmm, I think you're the one who has to check back every 10 minutes or so. lol gg

Did you take out 100lbs of stuff you were carying around in your trunk?

There are 2 break-in points to the engine. Theres the point at which Mazda says it's broken in. And then theres the point where the seals finally get broken-in and the horsepower, compression & gas mileage start to go up. Maybe you finally reached that point.

HAhah While I value his opinion on many things, I would agree that he is a bit closed minded. But who isn't, to some extent? If you have your mind made up, that's all there is to it, right?

Maybe I had my Easter eggs in the wrong basket, so I can see why I could have been wrong. It's not exactly difficult to correlate bearing wear to oil viscosity, especially considering how quickly the Renesis shears it's weight.

affect. not effect

worse. not worst

The Gremlins are tweaking his gas light heh heh.
