Default Back in a z after only a week

So I test drove a rx8 i was very impressed with the ride, and the back seat. After driving the rx8 for a week i have spent 150 bucks on gas and only 352 miles. So I traded in my 04 base for the rx8, and now just got the 03 touring. Bah beware of the rx8 guys they have major problems i did not find out about till i started looking for mods on it, and ran into a slew of problems. Now to start my mods back on my z after a week haha glad to be back where the men are.

i bought the rx8 because it had a back seat and was there at the time, it seemed like a really nice car until i had to put 150 bucks worth of gas in it after a week of driving between 2 jobs

There must be something wrong with your RX-8. We pay $3.50/gal in California for premium, which is about $42.00 for a fill-up--about 240 mile range.
