Rotaries are pretty notorious for running rich. It's more common than you think.

A redneck in a pickup wanted to drag race me the other day.

Wish they would stay on their side of the world and leave us alone.

Mazda should just make the furai a production car and end it there with the rotary....Rx-8 is cool and all for being the best handling car and being a rotary.....but power sucks (should have thrown in a 20b) and MPG is horrible. Tehy said that a new 16x engine will be more fuel effecient and make more power...we will see when ever they come out...

They run very rich. Thats the only way they can get 200+ hp out of an engine that small and certainly part of the reason for the piss poor mpg.
