We're talking about short shifting under 4k RPM and easy acceleration, and STILL only able to get 300km per 60L at MOST.
Highway driving, maybe 350km.  | |

Congrats! I'm wanting a RX-8 myself... though probably not new. Need better paying job. 
Check out rx8club for a great RX-8 community.
Hope to join you soon...
People are averaging about 450-500+ kms on highway trips, 300-350 around town, I think, on RX8club. YMMV, of course, especially in winter.
That red leather interior is HOT.

Highway driving, maybe 350km. | That's 20L/100km?? That's insane for a japanese sport car...

Maybe after I graduate, my own gift to me. Meanwhile I'll just drool over other RX-8's and tell myself "Some day, some day!"
Thanks for the info though. Quote:

Official specs from Mazda is:
With manual transmission (6MT): City = 12.8L/100km, Highway = 9.2L/100km
With automatic transmission (6AT): City = 13.3L/100km, Highway = 8.9L/100km
The whole fuel economy thing is overblown, honestly.
