The magic search button reveals this thread:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...hlight=mileage

Pretty much the same topic

on that note, I usually get 350-375km per 50 liters ... I don't dare go to the 60liters.

Wink Yeah!

We're not even finished telling the LAST guy how many km per tank!

How about you form an orderly line-up right here, wait your turn?

huh for comparison on my 1990 240SX I get about 400k off 50 liters on the commute to work, pretty similar if you ask me, but I do like to go WOT any time I can, well I have to becasue the thing is underpowered, on the highway I get about 550.

Right now I would be very very happy to be able to complain about MILEAGE, but alas I just had to part with my baby due to financial concerns . Be happy with any mileage you get, life can be worse. Enjoy this car for what it is: one of the best balanced sports cars i have ever encountered and pay the damn price for enjoying it. Otherwise: Buy a freaking Prius, I hear they're awesome on gas.....

Oh and yes ----the "SEARCH" button....

Say it's not so!!! It's hard to let go of the RX8 but to let go of a Velocity Red RX8 is especially hard. I mean I can understand if you drive a Cursed Silver or French Titanium Silver car like KHTM...BUT NOT A RED ONE!!!

I don't mean to be a dick and discourage new members from participating but this topic (gas Mileage) has been done to death. AS with all members we encourage you to read the forum rules and please use the search button when you can. It won’t help every time but it is useful.

Told the guy who took her from me you dont sell a VRED - You cut them out of your life!!

First car ever I told the interested party he shouldn't think too hard about buying it since I would prefer to keep it! I WILL BE BACK

Sorry to hear about your loss ... at first glance I thought you were talking about parting with a real kid (human one) to support the rx8. Ha ha.

That sucks gerhardj! Sorry to hear.

Although it's yet another mileage thread, I guess I'll update on my fuel comsumption.

Was getting 380kms per tank up until the over heat re-call, after that flash I dropped instantly to 320kms per tank (car had 20,000 kms). It stayed that way until I drove past 27,000Kms and my mileage magically went back up to 370kms per tank. Imagine, if it wern't for the latest flash I could be over 400!! No probably not, I'd just drive harder to bring it back down again.

For all you concerned about gas mileage, I asked a guy at work who drives a Hummer H2 what is gas mileage was and he gets about the same as I do....freaky!!

Maybe the PCM takes a very long time to study the driver's characteristic to update itself

I'm currently getting around 15liters/100km after the newest flash from the heat recall. That's 6.666 km/l. EVIL. I was getting 13liters/100km pre-flash.

I'm usually at 350km by the time I fill up (middle of last peg and E).

Car has 13000km.

I try to drive more conservatively during work days (shifting at 3000rpm) but it doesn't seem to make any huge difference from shifting at 4500rpm with WOT runs up a long hill a few times a week.

Well, I just jumped again since my last post. Tank after the 370kms I got 380Kms and the last tank I got 396 kms. I'm thinking of filling up now since it's down to 97 cents so I won't get this tanks full reading but I just turned 375 Kms and the needle is at the 1/4 tank mark, I could probably break 400kms! I wonder what mileage I could get if I actually shifted below 4500 RPM.

I don't know what's going on, my driving habits haven't changed, something must be happening after 27000 kms. Anyone else past this mileage see a difference like this??

I'm thinking traffic conditions and how far you drive makes a big difference. My commute to work is around 20km in city traffic when rush hour is just beginning. Coming home late at night, I drive faster since there's no traffic so I lose both ways. LOL.
