How much MPG is your beast getting?
I got on average around 18.75mpg..
A little more highway time than city.. what's everyone else getting out of their beautiful 3rd gens?
I wonder if this a good average for a Rx7?

I havent tried calculating mine, if i had to guess i would say about 25 but my friend has a 2000model RS which is getting around 35 miles per gallon, which impresses me.

Depends on my right foot and how much desire I've got to "open it up". Just cruizing, I'll say about 18 mpg. Was getting better mileage with open straight through 4 inch exhaust, but had to switch to 3 inch.
Installed rebuilt engine and was overboosting in excess of 16 lbs. Mostly stock, no cat, 3 inch downpipe, mid range intercooler, 12.3 lbs alumumin street lite flywheel, ATC dual friction clutch, twin turbo, carbon fiber hood.
Don't have picture, but original brillant red color, R2 black cotton seats, short shifter 5 speed, coolant fans are by passed manual. FD's are like agile ballet female dancers with a mean knock out back kick when needed!

Highway - 28
City - 18-20 or so
Spirited driving - single digits
I feel like calling BS on the guy getting 35mpg in an FD. lol I think I could have done 30mpg if I was driving on a completely flat highway without touching boost at all.
My setup: full bolt-ons w/ stock seq. twins.

Before my rebuild I was getting anywhere from 15-17 city, 22-23 hw. At that point I made 330 rwhp and 286 rwtq. Since the rebuild I've been taking it pretty easy, and averaging 21 mpg combined city/hw. I should be around 350-360 rwhp now with the street port/new tune, but won't know until I make it back down to the dyno.

Driving almost all highway, but varying speeds a lot, getting about 20-22mpg, I don't think full throttle onto the freeway twice a day was helping though... Now driving to the train station that is 3 miles from my house, I am barely getting 10mpg. In the hills around me I seem to get 12-14mpg.
