The Mazda RX-8 window sticker — build, options & years

What the Mazda RX-8 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the RX-8, latest tested year 2011:
The label also prints an estimated $4,050 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 484 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the RX-8 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the RX-8's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2004 to 2011. Worth checking before you compare a RX-8 sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Mazda RX-8
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every RX-8, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Mazda RX-8 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Mazda RX-8 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
