What\'s the average MPG for the Rx7?

Seems to be quite bad from what I can tell... lol

I\'ve had a Mr2 Turbo a 350bhp Pulsar and a 400bhp TT Supra. The rx7 seems to use more fuel than the lot.

As you know It\'ll depend on your right foot.

I\'ve had mine four years and I\'d guess 16-18 on average [stockish].

But you\'re not supposed to ask the question............

yeah ive hurd you can get 27mpg but i love my rex and how she sounds so ive got a bit of a heavy right foot.

all i know is that i fill her up every 2 weeks with v-power dont know what mpg is to that.

From a 400hp single turbo FD - I\'ve had some 24 mpg on a motorway run.

When gving the car WOT and around town I get a 1/3 of that.

I bought my car knowing it liked a tipple, but this things an petroholic.

I manage to silent the little voice saying "Its drinking to much, you cant afford this, get rid of it" with the before mentioned heavy right foot....cant hear anything under WOT :)

im putting 30 quid a week in, and get about 75 miles out of it. Id do the conversion to mpg......but i cant :) but i know mines quite low.

PIPFC

i\'d say driving sensibly( if that\'s possibly) i get about 24mpg but with a heavy foot i get 12mpg, although i\'ve worked out i average 18mpg with the way i drive.
