Description of the problem	I purchased my automatic rx8 in late jan. 2004. As i write this, i have averaged 14. 3 mpg with mixed driving conditions (city and highway) during my first 3000 miles. My worst tankful was 12. 3 mpg. Mazda north america refuses to address my issue, which is: my fuel economy is well below the estimated fuel economy on the sticker. Either there is something wrong with my rx8 or mazda has intentionally misrepresented the fuel economy of the rx8.
