Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Some of the A roads west of Hereford are amazing up and down and twisty and smooth. Great RX8 country.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
Which quarter of the tank?
The top "quarter" gets you a lot further than the last, as the complex shape of the tank means that the gauge isn't exactly linear.

Re: Do you see many RX8's?
I don't find that to be the case! Although I can't even get 100 kilometres out of any quarter of my fuel tank!!
Back to the topic at hand, saw 0 RX8s today, or this week so far. I see way more Nissan Leafs than I do rotaries.
