Overall, anyone who tells you that a rotary is fuel efficient is kidding themselves ....
FWIW; My 13B FD with basic bolt ons (DP, High Flow Cat, FMIC, PFC, upgraded inj., etc.) gets around 16 mpg with spirited driving. More conservative, highway driving should easily exceed that ....

Buying a Conv. with intentions of turbo'ing it will cost a lot (from what I hear) you'd be better off with buying a TII itself or a Conv. with a blown motor.
Do FD's get better MPG than FC's?!

94' Rx-7 Full bolt-ons...
Driving with mileage in mind...
City: 16-18
Hwy: 24-26
(With 0 boosting on the highway, and never over 6psi city...)
I daily drive my car and do some pulls to 130 most nights when I work late, other than that I don't really speed or take off, I get an average of about 15mpg. It dosen't sound that bad but it takes premium so its about 40-50 dollars to fill her up right now.
If gas mileage is a concern I would recommend a N/A if you HAVE to get an Rx7.......but really I wouldn't recommend an Rx7 at all

The rx7 has horrible gas mileage, but I didnt buy it because of that. Its a lot better platform to start with than a 240sx
