The RX-8 is the gas guzzler of the bunch. Go to some RX-8 forums and you'll see owners getting 20 mpg on the highway and as low as 15 in the city. Also RX-8s burn oil. When I went to the dealership to look at brand new RX-8s they recommend that I carry a quart of oil with me in the trunk and to check the oil level every other gas fill up. It's a great car to drive but there's a lot of maintenance. If you're set on an RX-8 get one with a factory warranty cause you won't know the maintenance record of a used car and rotary engines aren't exactly cheap and easy to service.

on the s2k that push at 5500 sounds like vtec... and that 'push' is something i dont know that i want to live without... hence my lean to the rsx. im not really dying for a lot of torque... just something i can feel under my foot when i want to. ive heard that the Z is the gas guzzler of the bunch and so far it looks like the insurance quotes on it are pushing it out of my range as well...
