Was reading through and they usually get about 400-500km out of a tank on the highway. In comparison, my Euro gets over 800km out of a tank when I did Sydney to Melb.

For fark's sake. I know sarcasm doesn't travel well through written mediums... but i still didn't think anyone would take 29.9l/100km as a serious attempt at statistic recital. Not even you.:thumbsup:

30L/100km is a realistic fuel consumption figure these days. ;)
BTW, I have a slight sense of humour, but I have zero sense of sarcasm.

So yes, RX-8 does qualify as much as an S2000 does.
