Maybe it is one of those new fangled things called a 'typo' ...there was an 84 GS for sale a few months ago for $27,000. It was nice looking, but he really only wanted $2,700.

No way....
You think you get bad gas mileage...try having a supercharger on your car....22mpg would make me happy...not to mention you can only use premium gas on them..
I live at the gas station...lol

46mpg... maybe Imperial gallons... and kilometers?
Then again maybe he never looked. I saw an FC for sale in a dealer lot that said "FUEL SAVER" on the windshield. Well the engine says 1.3 doesn't it?
Best thing you can do for economy is get headers and use 4th gear instead of 5th if you're driving below ~75mph cruise.

My 84SE gets about 17 in the city, and as much as 19 on the highway, but not really much more than that no matter what I do. This is about what it got before header installation, also.
I think that by adding heavier wheels, tires, and such, that it's kind of a wash when it comes down to actual mileage.
Just think - we're still getting better mileage that some of the guys on the RX-8 forum, however! Can you believe that some of those guys are getting as low as 11mpg and that's with standard (not pushing it) city driving???
The mileage estimates for the RX-8 are wide and varied - and these engines are all stock, still...
