    CX-5 2.5L 194hp vs 187hp engine differences?

    The ignition timing can be more advanced with higher octane fuel, but the higher compression ratio works in the other direction. I get 84 octane here in Colorado, I guess the altitude (5000ft) allows this.

    Wheel bearing issues (2016 CX-5)

    Hmm. Is this the type of thing that is checked periodically? I guess the maintainance schedule does say to check for loose fasteners.

    Help! 2021 CX-5 undiagnosed engine knock

    I can hear that it's not normal. Does it vibrate more when it makes this noise? You say intermittant. How often is that?

    CX-5 Stopped on the Highway

    Pretty strange... how many miles, etc? Any issues buying fuel lately? I wonder what could prompt this kind of problem.

    2021 CX-5 Key Battery Low

    I bought some cheap new ones but found they had a short life so I got some better batteries with a fresh date code and I've had better luck.

    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    To be honest, I've been thinking back about that trip and I remember it showing over 40mpg on the return and I decided to make sure and calculate the mpg because I didn't believe the computer. I was wondering at the time if the wind shifted direction mid-day giving me favorable winds going both...

    Tire air pressure question

    Yep, depending on the weight of the car.... unless the tires are a completely different size or something *(like on a tractor:) ) The tire pressure is listed on the door jamb for the size of tires the car was delivered with and approved by the DOT.

    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    There's a bit of weight difference between the MT/FWD and a newer AWD w/auto. If you add a sunroof I'm sure that's a bit more. Probably steady state cruising they might be pretty close, but the extra weight has some effect on overall mpg.

    It won't give me 39 mpg very often. I guess the conditions were good in this case.
