What fuel configurations can I choose from for the Mazda RX8?

The most popular fuel type for the Mazda RX8 is petrol.

Keep your driving habits in mind when choosing which fuel type to purchase. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
