Average about 17/18 I get about 280 out of 15 gal of gas half city driving half highway. I get about 415 out of 15 gal on just highway keeping the speed constant at about 60--over that speed and milage starts to drop rapidly!!
so far mine has been under 14. i'll know for sure when i fill it up this weekend. Course, I did just get the car, and i "had to" make sure that it could drift properly and would get up to speed in an appropriate time.

18 mpg city usually shifting at 3500 to 4000rpm with a few jaunts to 5 or 6k on my '86 NA with no mods. I did pull over 28 mpg highway running 75mph at 85 degrees outside and no A/C one time.
I just calculated that I get 14 mpg with 94 octane city driving. I havent noticed it getting any worse with the temp coming down like someone else had mentioned. Although it pulls way more with the cold air.
I did take her on a road trip this summer and the gas mileage from what I remember was substantially better, even with speeds of 120 mph plus in alot of places.
thank God I didnt get pulled over hehe

'88 GXL. Ever since it started getting colder here, I've been getting 12-13mpg city driving (and that's with a light foot), and I averaged 22mpg pure highway driving on Saturday (with a heavy foot). I can't figure out why my city average is so low. The cold weather seems to have a huge effect.
Could someone in the know please post what (if any) effect cleaning the fuel injectors/replacing fuel filter/replacing oxygen sensor will have on mpg city driving?

I must be messed.....I get something like 9.6mpg
~280km/tank (70L)
~175miles/18.1 gallons
full city driving, off boost, low rpm, no a/c
but weird thing is....I get about the same mileage at the TRACK!

I also notice I seem to consume more fuel if I keep the RPM's low. I think the rotary engine consumes fuel at a contant rate, regardless of RPM. The faster you get to your destination, the less fuel you use!!
