Rx8 using a lot of gas
My rx8 is using more gas than it used to! I thought it was because of my air filter, but I put in a K&N air filter and its still using a ton of gas. At first it was doing fine when I replaced the air filter, but now its using a lot of gas. I filled up half a tank and used it all in about 30 miles or so. Any suggestions to make my rx8 get its MPG back?

I zoom therefore I am.
that's crazy.. i would refil at a different station before jumping to conclusion. The first pump might have been way off or you put in less then you thought

Inspect your underbody, exhaust system, O2 sensors, and get a tune up. No CELs?
Also re-examine your driving style. I've gotten as bad as 11 mpgs outta my 09 when really pushin it, but as good as 24 on long highway trips.
A good history of the car's mods may shed some light.

may want to check out your fuel system and make sure none of the components are worn out, that could be the problem and you could not know unless you disasemble the system
