I think that's one of the reasons they are discontinuing the RX-8

Slow and gets bad gas mileage

It's just very hard to drive this car like a prius
E85 won't get 22mpg no matter what you do, especially in a 550whp X, lol.

Tell him he can't use the dashboard mpg when your on E85, its worthless at that point. You have to record miles and then calculate at fillup. 18 is probably about the best he will see.

Then that must be the case cause all he's doing is reading his dash
