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.

I haven't tried to figure out how much I get.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
