So I originally posted here a while back complaining about my 2017 CX-5 having poor fuel efficiency.
Well today I think I finally solved the issue.
Long Story short, Carbon Clogged Intake Valves.
Yesterday I removed the intake manifold ( about a 20min job) and inspected my valves... GROSS.
Cleaned them with come carb cleaner and got in there as best I could. Closed it up and ran some CRC Intake valve and turbo cleaner through the engine.
Got 29mpg on a short highway trip. (Previously struggles to get 25mpg) and was able to get 29 with some spirited driving,
So if you're like me and at your whits end about MPG on your car, give the valve cleaner a shot and lmk if you see similar results down below.
