RX8 Milage Update – Summary So Far


It has been a little while since I updated my fuel mileage thread.  I decided to do a recap of my fuel economy so far.  It seems that since the new motor, the overall mileage has slightly improved.  However, the improvement is not significant.  The last half tank was approaching 20MPG was a highway only burst with an average speed of 80-90 MPH with constant acceleration and braking.  I consider this quite good given the driving style.  The previous half tank was 90% city driving.  Again at 15.2 MPG it was quite terrible.

Since the beginning of my record keeping, my average fuel mileage is 16.8 MPG with a high of 20.1 and a low of 14.7. I have yet to reach the HWY MPG of 24 stated by the EPA.  Maybe next time. Below are some detailed stats.
