should have bought a Crossfire!!!

 

thank god for mpg!

 

Plus it takes a lot of gas savings to make up the $700 you just spent on your gas saving mod.

 

dang i get 200 >_> but i put the pedal to the floor every light lol

 

the rx8 is so slow that you kind of have to just to keep up with traffic

it's rediculous what heatsoak is doing to my car

 

No, just imagine you didn't spend $600 on an exhaust to get you 2 hp, and didn't spend $400 on an intake to get you 2 hp. The AP can give you gains larger than both combined. Plus it is a CEL reader/resetter (those usually run $100-200 range). You also get the benefits of increase OMP flow rates, lower radiator fan turn on temps, and you'll see it's one of the best deals going for the car.

But if all of the above is worthless to you, then yes, $700 would take a long *** time to recoup if this was strictly a fuel mod. But then again, you'd have to be pretty dense to not know the RX-8 isn't a fuel efficient vehicle to begin with

 

ive noticed its slower, well compared to my fathers car and my previous...but i still floor it no matter what

 

you do realize the topic of this thread is about how to improve gas mileage, right?

 

you do realize the AP can improve gas mileage, right?

Uhh, never once did I debate that. Gas mileage flashes are nothing new. The domestics of all kinds have had this for many years. Since like the mid 90's.

But do you realize how much better your gas mileage would have to get on a consistent basis to offset the cost of the unit @ $700??


Spending money to get better gas mileage is generally an exercise in futility.

 

yeah sometimes its addicting...


dont you have an s2k?

 

used to

why else would i be on rx8club?

 

dude thats f*cken sweet, i remember you postin somethin like u were lookin to trade ur s2k for a shinka, but i never read anything about u picking one up...did you make a thread and post pics?

 

I averaged 21 mpg on the way back from Vegas and my car is running RICH!

 

I haven't really made a formal introduction yet. Just sort of butted in with knowledge on wheels and stuff. I guess can come off as overly critical, but I really do have a strong passion for cars.

I do have pictures of the car, but I don't like to share them when they are of a stock 8, everyone has seen one before. Most people won't like the direction I build this car anyways, but I'll have my wheels, suspension, and some other things on for sevenstock.

 

DIE Thread DIE!!!! LOL but thanks for the info mac11

 

all local and 200 max it's been like this for the last 4 years and i don't think any mod can get you better since you have 275!!!

 

No!! LOL 280/14 = 20 WOW! ROTFL

 

Actually with my AccessPort I get those numbers now, and that is not using the fuel economy map but the Cobb Stage 1 map that came out of the box. With added HP! Just my .02.

 

thatz really good

 

I got 16.7 mpg on my last fill up. But that was letting people drive it, and they were reving it. Might be able to get 17-18 on this fill up
