Monthly FD Gas Bill?
#28
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.

I got smart and bought a civic hatch for $1,100 to use as a mileage sponge to go to work and back. I get 40mpg and it costs $27 to fill the tank and it lasts two weeks lol. 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.
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?

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.

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.
