One thing to note about howstuffworks.com. Their illustration on the rotary is only valid for pre rx-8 designs. Due to the new design of the rotary, the new placement of the exhaust ports I believe, the illustration is somewhat off.

Now on to the gas mileage concern of a rotary. It is designed solely for performance. Show me a 1.3L 4 cyclinder that has 238 hp and I will show you a 'gas guzzler' as well.
