Drive like an *******?
I don't know.

Still being an *******?
We'll find out.

Remember last time, when you said that you'd never search and just 'post' **** whenever you felt like it? I guess so since this thread just popped up.
Right on the top of the page, it says "what did my fc come with", if you click that link, inside is a few pictures of standard feature brochures. The very first brochure states on the bottom right

"24 highway MPG, and 17 City MPG"

So do the math and figure out if your gas milage is acceptable.
If you do the math, you will find out that it is normal.

hmmmmm... i was trying to kiss and make up with you on the fuel pump thread, but the little demon on my shoulder is screaming at me again. i know what the numbers are from factory but alot of times the factory numbers aren't true and i was trying to get a feel of what other people are getting per tank--jeremie

Yea I saw that, after I made this post.
So I can be a 'nice' guy right now and tell you, er um, 'suggest' that you just take a good look at the stickies right now and see what they all contain.

Lets all just get along

thread closed... covered in stickies and in countless threads before.

Please use the stickies at the top of the section they are a wealth of information with such common questions answered, as well as the search function would have shown around 100 other threads on gas mileage.

and your post of:
1986 rx-7 base model with 13.5 gallon tank
suggests that you are not even talking about an RX-7, as the 86 RX-7 has a 16.6 gal tank.

^ better than sticker estimated mieage??? must have a good tune

i get 13-14 mpg in the city, probably better on the highway... havent really taken my car on any long trips...

if you install and tune the safcII you can get better power/mielage.

I get 20-22 hwy at about 75 in 5th (manual trans) TofuBall (Jason) says I should be able to get 25-28. Mine's not tuned up well yet. It sat for 2 years and I've been driving it about 3 months (100 miles a day!), but it runs great.

Depends on the proportion of highway/city driving, almost exclusively...

Mostly highway, you should see 25 or better...26.97 on my last fillup, in fact...

Mostly city driving...Just keep praying the gas doesn't hit $4 a gallon, lol...
