too much is the answer

Probably a little over $100 a month. I really only drive it around town, but yea I tend to go into boost quite often. It's too tempting not to. :)

I can usually get through about a week and a half before having to fill up, and its about 45-50 to fill her up. On the nights when I work late (most nights) theres a long empty strech of road I like to pull to 140 on, so mileage isn't so bad when you take that into consideration.

$0, it hasn't run in a year and a half.

I used to drive my Mercedes-Benz AMG to work and back, wow that was horrible on gas, it was like $400 a month. The RX7 is a weekend warrior.

lol.....I'll bet your work buddies were like, "WOW! He has fallen back a few notches!"
If you can afford this car, WHY worry about the cost of fuel? You really are only saving what....$150 or so a month? That is chump change for an AMG driver, isn't it?

i record 7-8mpg on the untuned 1680cc primary and secondary injectors... so im at about $60-100 per week. ~$350 a month

Heh I also bought this little junker to drive in the winter. Found myself driving it way beyond winter just to work and back. The AMG is an older AMG. I'm not that big of a baller. https://hotrodbenz.sslpowered.com/Myspace/IMG_1347.jpg But she can keep up with the new ones :) Plus I don't want to rack up the miles on my other cars. Even though a benz is good for it.

I don't get this reasoning. Chage AMG for Civic to save on gas? lol
Get one of diesel MB's You spend part of life in a car. Mine as well enjoy...


Funny thing I sold my Turbo Diesel Mercedes-Benz to buy my RX7.

CosmoRx 06-03-07 12:40 AM

kmhergohom 06-03-07 06:16 AM

mine problably takes the cake !! my average is $300-$500 a month! rx7s my daily driver, and i was suprised my fuel price was THIS big. thnx for posting this drift trix, now i need a small car so i dont send the world broke of fuel! by the way im running a series 8 rx7 with a 26b. love driving it, however i do scare a few people when i drive by! not to mention being pulled over by the cops 20 times a day! lol.

rexhvn 06-03-07 07:12 AM

You daily drive a 26b? Thats hard to beleive... ^^^^

MisawaJason 06-03-07 09:15 AM

Let's see. When converted from yen to dollars, I pay roughly $4.47/gallon. I fill up roughly once a week, roughly 10,000 yen which is about 92 bucks.
So I'd say upper $300s per month.

A daily driven 26b is not a normal thing around here. If you can, post some pictures in the sticky thread.

26b's are very rare and only used in 'drag' cars in Australia! I've never heard of anyone daily driving one... how reliable would they be?

DriftTrix 06-04-07 05:50 PM

lol, reliability is 2X a 13B because it will keep running off 3 rotors if 1 goes out. I bet if that things tuned right acceleration is as smooth as silk.
