    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    Did YOU ever do the calculations to disprove this theory? Seems like the onus is always on the people who say higher octanes give better gas mileage but the same naysayers always pull out the 1 graph from Mazda and point and screech "SEE, SEE SEE, MAZDA SAYS 91 OCTANE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!". My...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    For a moderator, this is a pretty poor response to someone. Telling them if you could ignore them you would and the implication that this person is stupid and you'll just let them keep posting and what? We'll all see the error of their ways? Do better. Edit: This is why mods should not be able...

    Rock Chip in CX-30 Windshield - A Canadian Tale

    Driving home from a nice dinner out with the fam and I got a huge rock chip in the windshield. Long story short, called the dealer and they were useless. I called Ziebart (I am in no way affiliated with them, I cold called them) as I have never owned a car before that was good enough to fix a...

    Dad took CX-5 at 56k miles in for routine maintenance and these were the recommended repairs

    TBH some of those things are reasonably priced for someone who cannot do these things themselves. My opinion on the following services: 1. The brake service is BS. I paid about that up here for new pads and rotors. It's BS. For that price you should get all new. 2. The brake fluid flush is BS...

    CX-5 Aftermarket Pads and Rotors

    Not sure if anyone cares, but every time I've tried to have CT Boutique put on the Brembo Rotors and pads, they always caution against them. One guy told me they are meant for more high performance vehicles and that they would make alot of noise on our CX-5's.

    CX-5 Aftermarket Pads and Rotors

    Look, alot of people here will say this and say that. I needed brakes on 4 corners and I had them done at Canadian Tire. So far so good. I'll get the dealer to service them after the winter. I'm sure they will be fine.

    Got my 75,000 mile service done (2016.5 CX-5)

    I went to the dealer that we bought our CX-30 from and was picking the service advisors brain about my CX-5 and he said that unless there are problems he recommends against any sort of fuel injector service. Good to hear he was right.

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I can't always justify Petro 94 Octane. It's almost $2 a litre sometimes.

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I really don't care how I get the benefit. I notice a difference and that's all that matters.

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I know it doesn't give me more power. All I know is I get better kms per tank, the engine runs better and the lack of ethanol helps the motor. If they made no ethanol 87, I'd use that. Regardless of how or why, I personally see a tangible benefit to using higher octane fuel. That's just me and...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    Because my vehicle runs better and typically gets better fuel mileage with 91. It runs really well with 94. I typically can get 50-75kms more per tank running high test. I've monitored this in the past. 87 also has ethanol which is TERRIBLE for rubber seals and other components. So the more I...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    FWIW my 2017 GT gets 26.1 mpg on a bad week with a mix of hwy and city driving. Sometimes I can get that up to 29.4 mpg. I use a mix of 87 and 91 Octane depending on the price of fuel that week. I thought I had bad fuel mileage but some of you have really bad gas mileage. Sorry for that.

    CX-5 Serpentine Belt and Tensioner Quote from Dealer

    I just figure with common parts like this they will know how to get the job done quickly and know what to look out for with respect to other problem areas. The alternative is I pay someone $380 to change the tensioner and belts on a vehicle they may never have done before. Absolutely a smaller...
