Its all in how you drive. Wintertime will net you less MPG. I do a decent amount of highway and according to fuelly am getting 29mpg average over the last 26,000 miles.

I am always amazed when I fit big things in the back of this car.
I bought all 3 parts of the toolbox while I was at work without thinking how I was going to get it home. When i looked over the dimensions of the box I was very nervous. Folded down both back sears flat and the whole thing fit...
If I had wanted to spend the money I would have gotten it powdercoated. It will hold up better. I spent 5$ and got some of the yellow engine enamel. I just scuffed the valve cover up with one of the sponge-type sanding blocks and then hit it with a bunch of thin layers. I was actually...
Bumper Brackets added
Finally got around to doing the bumper brackets I bought months ago. I can't honestly say enough good things about these. If you had *any* sort of front end damage that broke the mounting tabs on the front bumper these are fantastic. I just need to get the rear wing lip...
I also have two burned out bulbs. I replaced two of the four when I got the car. Need to do the others soon but was thinking about upgrading to LED. My only concern is the beam pattern. I don't want dark spots...
Anyone replaced them with LEDs? I'd be interested to hear experiences.
I had the same issue. Instead of modifying the grill I got some alum with holes and used it as a bracket to lower the horns an inch and a half. Grill goes in and they are only slightly blocked so still very loud.
I did the EXACT same thing three weeks ago. The supertones were like 55$ to my door and super easy to install. They are loud as hell and fantastic for getting peoples attentions.
I like the build thus far. I think you should paint the front mazda logo into the M.
For whatever reason I hate the oval exhaust tip on the p5s. I think the larger circular tip looks nicer.
