Fuel Guzzler?

I have been doing research on the RX-7 because I am interested in buying one. From what I have found, it seems like buying an RX-7 would greatly increase the already high ammounts that I am paying for gas. Is it true that the RX-7 requires premium fuel? I have heard that the rotary engines use much more gas. Does the car burn gas as fast as I have been led to believe?

Turbo rotary engines require Premium Gas. Tha's to prvent From Detonation.
Non Turbo..... Regular would do.

well you guys, i don't know much about our glorious cars but i have been doing as much research as i can to learn as much as possible, lol. kurt if all u want to know is what kind of gas mileage to expect check out www.edmunds.com. of course the mileage on your exact vehicle would vary slightly due to condition and all that. but the site should answer your question 100%...

What do you drive?

I get 17 mpg in town flooring it a lot of the time.

I get about 20mpg on the highway I would guess, a turbo gets a few less

i get 19hwy, 15city, and 0 on idle.
