i have penzoil 20W50, it's great stuff, makes oil pressure higher. just use that. Rotary engines suck gas, but apparently they are supposed to get like 17/18 mpg but most of us get around 14 i guess. Around 450 KM a tank

regular castro gtx 20w50 for me all year long, but i read some where that you may want to use 10w40 during the winter if your winters get below freezing (something like that)...
as far as gas goes, i get about 12-15/25 city/freeway
