These fluctuating oil prices suck. Gas prices here never drops.

), look where v8's peak torque hits and where rotaries' (and small displacement engines) peak torque is.

I dunno how you guys are driving, I get 24mpg on average, mixed city/highway with a completely stock NA. Gas here is $2.04 on the low end and $2.09 on the high end for 87.
