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?

Re: Fuel Guzzler?
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%...

Re: Fuel Guzzler?
