didn't buy it for the MPG. i bought it because it was what was affordable to me at the time i bought the car. now, i could afford another rx8, but at this point in time in my life, i don't want to start on car payments all over again. in fact, i don't want to have any debt i don't need, like CCs and a car loan. even though i bought it used, i'm making car payments on my car, and i have a little over a year left before my car is paid off. once that happens, i'll have an extra $300/mo. in my pocket on top of w/e other CCs that will be paid off by then.

and my accord is a v6. it has 200hp and 195tq...or is it the otherway around? i forget, lol. anywas, i've done the math, and i'm averaging 23MPG between city and highway. it's a little better than the rx8's MPG...by about 5MPG when comparing it to the MPG of my specific rx8 at least.....but it's got a 17gal. tank. 2gal. more than the rx8. if i were shooting for MPG, i woulda gotten me a 3cyl. geo metro with like 50hp that gets like 50MPG average, lol.

and now, even though i REALLY want another rx8, i'm not going to buy one. so, to make me content with my car and make it feel a little more rx8ish, imna get my car lowered and a few other mods i've previously mentioned. i'm not going for the whole ricer scene as even i look down upon them despite me owning a honda, but i want my car to look as nice as possible for as long as possible for myself.
