With the R the same economy and fun driving i am getting about 30mpg!
If you keep the V-TEC light on for long periods your fuel consumption drops to low 20s, (boy what a sound it makes when that light comes on)


I do think the RX8 was a bit faster, but my Type R has only done 720miles so it should still free off a bit!
how the heck do you vtec and get 20mpg????????????????????
