Anybody  remember what the 3rd gen RX7 EPA mileage rating
was? Mazda is claiming the RX8 will come in at 18-19
city and 23-24 highway according to the Jan Motor Trend article.

Is this the 40% they claim?

Edmunds.com displays historical data on used cars. It quoted the 1993 RX-7
as having the following fuel economy:

EPA Mileage Estimates: (City/Highway)
  Manual: 17 mpg / 25 mpg

  Automatic: 18 mpg / 24 mpg

Thanks Barry. As I suspected the improvement is mainly
in the city. No where near 40% however.
