    Brake Light problems

    I have a 2005 Mazda 6. Car runs fine - but - on my dashboard, the Emergency Brake light, the ABS light, and the 2 traction control lights are on all the time. This disconnects the ABS capability. At first this happened only when the car was cold (and by cold I mean back in the winter). Now...

    Miles Per Tank

    I have a 2005 Mazda 6 with a MT and I4. I routinely get about 500 miles per tank. On the last tankful I decised to see how far I could go if I drove very conservatively. On that tank I drove 593 miles (with room to spare as I only needed 15.8 gals to fill-up again). This gave me an average...
