Well... I just filled her up from 1/4 tank and got just at 10 gallons in it. So I am right at 17mpg... which is not that great since I do a mix of city/highway driving. I am going to chart it out and watch it. I am used to getting 300 miles on a tank with my old Bonneville, so maybe I just need to adjust to the new car.

woah...I gotta do a littel US to Canada math.
17 MPG is 7.22 Kilometer Per Litre, and that....alright. I thought rotary engines would do better then that. But then again it is a sports car, so I guess thats not to bad.
This peaked my intrest for some reason and I went to fueleconomy.gov to check things out....
Turns out 18 MPG is about what you will get for any kind of compact sports car...the impreza gets the same milage, with the 350z(6 cyl) getting slightly better at 19 MPG. What boggels my mind is the Corvette (5.4L - V8) at 20 MPG in the city.
It could be worse...the Lamborghini Murcielago with a 12 cyl, 6.2 L, Man(6) gets a wopping 9 MPG in the city. :D
Well that was fun little lesson.

My full size ford f150..4.6 liter got 17mpg..and about the rotary motor...power to weight ratio is awesome but the drawback is the bad mileage ...those have been used in airplanes too...They even have a display about the motor at Nasa here in Houdton
