Last time I got this much (highway) miles in a 13.5 gal fill up was in Christmas of 2012. I may be able to get it close to 290 miles in the last gallon or two.

 

I haven't tried to figure out how much I get.
I'm not sure I want to know. I drive it like a fool, & if I know it might alter my m.o.

On a related note, why does gas go up 15 cents overnight, but goes down a penny at a time?
Must have gone up 45 cents in the last month.

 

Because oil companies suck lol

I'm lucky to get 250 miles/tank on the highway going 70-80. 190-200 miles/tank city

 

Wiped the car down with some detailer spray, can't drive it 5miles without it getting all dusty. Ordered a Mazdaspeed Flywheel, which the guy on the phone with me from the Rosenthal Mazda parts said was the last one available, lucky me.

 

^^ Be sure to let us know how the lighten flywheel performs...

 

Will do. Won't be until sometime next week when I receive it.

 

I'm not too far from you when I drive it in the city. I get about 225-230 miles with a full tank, and that's driving 15 more after the low fuel indicator light turns on. I am surprised that I got 266 miles when I averaged speeds between 75-88 mph and the freeway had a lot of 8-15° inclines an 8th of a mile long, at least.

 

my last tank was all city, 13.5mpg, a new low...

 

Damn Hope you were at least running the A/C! If not....might be time for a tune up lol

 

That's my average!

 

That was my average for three months before I completely lost compression.

 

 

Thats been my average for 2 years... LOL It's all in how (and where) you drive sometimes.

If you really worried go do a hwy run, Earlier this month I went out to Mississippi and got 21mpg with the a/c on, and I have low compression.

 

yes to both actually. literally it was all city though, long stop lights, i probably didn't hit 30mph.

 

Yeah I will at some point. I have low compression as well...how low is yours? I'm not to the point of having starting issues yet, but when it was tested 15k ago I was in the mid 7s all around, my starter is the upgraded one, but it seems a bit slower than the other 8s with upgraded starters around here. I've been pre-mixing to try and slow the compression loss advancement down though. It doesn't take any longer to start now, but it does vibrate a bit more at idle. Unless I'm below 1/4 of a tank, in all seriousness, just look at my other thread

Yeah I'm about there, almost all city driving with hardly any A/C I get ~15 with moderate driving, normally shifting 4-5k, some 6k shifts and a few redlines to mix things up

 

I got my windshield replaced! Yaaaaaay...love the look of new glass.

 

Drove her to Parts store..For Sway Bar links for the TJ.. Turning my Rx into a Jeep Recovery Unit

 

My Jeep is a Rotary Recovery Unit.

 

Got my Cobb AP, Uploaded a tune, and did some data logging..

 

Got a new front bumper, mesh, Aluminium floor mats, rear strut bar, Metra Kit, DVD player, Bride Low Max seat and rails.

 

LIVING UN THE SOUTH OF IRELAND FOR ROAD TAXATION PURPOSES THE GOVERNMENT , FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER CLASS THE RX 8 AS 1744CC , THIS MAKES NEARLY A 100% CHANGE IN THE ROAD TAX YOU PAY . I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT IS IN THE GOOD OLD US OF A BUT A POST THAT I CAN PRINT OFF DECLARING THE TRUE CAPACITY , WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE 1308CC WOULD BE A GREAT HELP PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT I CAN SHOW TO THE VEHICLE TAXATION OFFICE . THANKS .

 

You can download the owners manual from mazdausa.com. That should have the capacities that you need. You may also find something interesting at this link: foxed.ca/index.php?page=rx7manual#rx8

BTW, posting in all caps on the internet is considered shouting and to be bad manners. Please refrain from doing this in the future.

 

I thought we had a filter that prevented all caps ... ah, WE DO

I discovered a subtle oil leak today... either just starting on my year old BNR rebuild or from my recently installed SOHN. Hopefully it's from the SOHN. Seems every time I do ANYTHING with this car's oiling system I end up a leak that takes a month or two to resolve.

 

Parked my 8 under my deck and put my car cover on it as we are in the early stages of a tornado outbreak in Kansas City.
Gonna be a long night.

 

Wash and wax/detail.
