Randy! Holy crap! I haven't seen you post in ages.

To be fair, I haven't looked.

Anyway, I have gotten just over 30mpg in my SVX, but I haven't driven it very far in years. I fill it up maybe a couple times a year, so I have no idea what it gets around town.

Still, I agree with Randy - I never put anything other than premium in it.

Now, the RX-8? Ow. I'm getting just over 10mpg in town, on premium. It does seem to be getting better; either I'm calming down or the previous owner didn't run it on premium and the car's getting used to it again.

Thankfully my commute is 2mi, round trip. I get a little bitter when I fill the car up, but since that's only every couple weeks I'm not that angry.
