For full disclosure - I drive a little 2-seater sports car with suspension upgrades and shod in Michelin PS2's that get about 15K out of a $1k set of tires. It gets about 20mpg on the street. I rag the car at the track, and change oil, brake fluid, brake pads, rotors, and diff fluid regularly due to the abuse that it takes. One years worth of payments on that car are almost five times what I payed for my 250. However, that isn't the "typical" scenario, and certainly isn't the comparison against the OP's RSX, which is a nice, reliable, reasonably priced vehicle (my wife had one for a few years and we never put more than gas and oil into it.).
