Hmmm.. my friends and i never even bother to calculate the fuel consumption. All we know, each refuel will make our wallet cries blood haha. Anyway, FC does seems to be fuel-efficient during higher rev, meaning 5k and above. Thats what we found out after years driving it.

by the name Ah Choy u mentioned, it is the shop that located around USJ area that specialize in rotary aint it? Well, Ah choy will cut your throat when it comes to the charges, but one of his staff, Hau, always give us discount without ah choy's knowing hehe

Anyway, if u really decided to get one, dont forget to keep an extra money for maintenance. Make sure to buy a halfcut together when u buy the car. Rebuild the halfcut engine. When it is time for the current engine started to loss compression due to failing apex seal, just straight plonk in the halfcut one. I think most of the rotary owner would do this.

lulz... yea rx7 only can rev up to 7k while rx8 can up to 9k. Been inside of the rx8 (a manual version, owner name Jack) only once, the interior is way comfortable than rx7, especially the back laugh.gif Despite being n/a, the acceleration is decent.

by default, rx7 safe rev until 7k while 7.1k - 9k is already under the red line. As for rx8 (6 gear manual only) u can rev safely until 9k while afterward till 10k is already under the red line
