I average between 198-225. I wish I could get over 250..
I also blame myself though, I need to redline it AT least, once a day.. Or hour..

 

Do you have proof of this "6speed AUTO Turbo'd Rx8" of yours?

 

I get roughly about 200mpg per tank... I tried keeping the revs low but I get paranoid of carbon buildup on mine so after ten minutes of driving like that, I go all out and then back to low revs again.... oh, 6MT FTW!

 

+1 to RENESIS SE3P

Shinka Chicago - not to say i don't believe you - but uhhh...yeah - any proof (ie pics, dynos etc)??

 

I'd like to see a video..

 

What are you guys calling? His cars N/A or its no can do?

 

no, I think we're not skeptical, we just wanna see, lol

btw, guys, since we all ATs, I swear to u all, please please DON'T USE THE GOD DAMN AT!! use the manual shift, trust me, wayyyy WAYYY better Milage, the ******* AT drags ur damn engine and goes into 6th gear at like 45 mpg, and when u accelerate, it freaking dumps loads of fuel into a higher rev and 2 seconds later, that power is gone and ur back in 6th, screw it all

and , even though I know we all hate speeding(nah, no one does) but "cruising" at about 100mph on 6th gear actually gets u WAYY better mpg

my dad is in town and I get like 210-240 mpg on my car because I cant drive it fast, so im stuck in 5th gear 3-4k rpm going 70 on the damn highway.........

da faster, da better the milage

NO officer! I'm not "saying" to speed, its just.......SORRY NO!!

 

I use the manual shift daily.. Just wondering if you guys let go of the gas when you shift? Knocks you back of course..

 

No, I just leave my foot in the gas.

 

I've driven an AT 8 and tried the manual thingy... I didn't like how it lagged for about a second.... anyways, wouldn't taking off your foot on an AT while shifting causes more wear and tear on both your engine and tranny? Especially when you're at high rev and you let go, causes you to lunge forward in your seat, shift, and step on the gas, lunges you back and the tranny is alot weaker as well....

 

+1 to your sig

 

damn it dom! stop distracting us.....damn here we go, another thread gone cus of u.

 

nahhh im just messing with all MT's out here. i dont have turbo on my 8 but im in a process on doing it. prolly im goin with Pettit Stage II.

 

Before you get slammed by others, just so you know the Pettit is a supercharger, not a turbo.

 

yah i know, honestly im not a fun of turbo's but thats just me. Pettit's FI sytem seems to be the best way to speed up this wankel 8 specially for AT's. By the way where burbs u located at?

 

^I highly doubt it

 

guilty of driving an A/T

 

i'm guilty also...no regrets at all. i love my auto gt stormy blue.

 

drive to CSULB in the morning, u wont want a ******* MT, unless ur crazy and ******* stupid

 

Have an AT, sometimes I wish I had a MT but then I remember when I had the 350z MT and let me tell you, it sucked hard going to and from school and to work in traffic. The AT in my RX8 is soooo much better.

 

i'm driving an Auto too..no much problem except 1-2 gear is kinda lag, other than that, everything is coOl.
cheers!

 

You live in Singapore and don't have the Re-Amenya reflash for a/t equipped 8s? You need to PM Sosonic and look into it.

 

What? I want..

 

I'm not sure but I do not think it's available for US cars, a PM to Sosonic would let you know for sure as he has it (unless you can read Japanese).

 

I have an auto too...

Question: When in Manual and you are slowing to a stop; do you downshift or just let it downshift for you?

I usually down shift to go faster if I need a higher rpm... I'm new to manual...
