    Mazda 5 GT Poor Fuel Economy Help!

    Hello sorry to resurrect my old thread. I have been busy at work and other things so I forgot about the issue. I have not been able to resolve the problem with fuel injector cleaner or anything else. I did some averaging after a few refills and I get about 19 mpg with 50/50 city/highway driving...

    Mazda 5 GT Poor Fuel Economy Help!

    Right that's what I meant sorry. I thought it was simple logic so I left that part out :). In my OP I put down the tank capacities for you guys to reference, I never divide by those numbers. mpvue: I'm figuring out the mpgs correctly; I've kept a log for months. I am very honest about my...

    Mazda 5 GT Poor Fuel Economy Help!

    Sorry for thread necro'ing, but after purchasing the 5 bulb wide angle LEDs for the map lights I will definitely have to recommend getting the 6 bulb version.

    New owner with misc. questions

    I'm a new owner of an M5 GT w/o nav thanks to the government's CARS program. I'm going to be lurking a good amount but I might as well say hello to start. Already I've seen some useful information on the forums, but I've found it pretty scattered or incomplete for what I want to be trying to do...
