looking at last year, the rx-8 has better mpg than the porches, at least last years porches, but it always comes down to relaibility

I think it was just due to them having a larger fuel tank than everyone else. I may be mixing series, so don't quote me.

yes the larger tank is in st class

In Gran Am GT at homesteat the porches are good for 50+ laps the rx-8 best was 63

well, as my name states im CRAZY, I have all the races recorded im a member of allmost all the racing forums I know of, Alfredo Nin is a close friend (comentador for Gran Am latino) as well as a lot of racing pilots, in fact the champion of the class I race here in my country is racing in st in an acura tsx, Juan Carlos Lerux

so I pick up little tibits from here and there
