    MPG's

    I'm running 0-20 from Mobile One too. Have gone on a couple of 50 mile drive this week and I've noticed that keeping my speed around 65 I pickup an additional couple of mpg(36.9) that I lose just by increasing the speed 5 mph. Wish I could get the same mpg @ 70 or 75 MPH. Going on another...

    MPG's

    Just got back from the Mazda service dept, had a couple of issues besides the mileage. On the drive in, about 50 miles, I did get about 35.5 by turning off the Traction Control, vs the normal 32.4. So that does work for me. Also, had been experiencing what service manager called "fish bite"...

    1.5 Valve timing question

    I think that's what I'm on about. With Honda, the 2nd intake valve didn't open until around the 3700 rpm range, so your fuel economy dropped when you hit that magic number. I was looking if Mazda had done something similar. I'd read on here that people seemed to get better mileage when they...

    1.5 Valve timing question

    I have been looking for information on when the 2nd intake valve opens up on this engine. On the Fit it opened around 3700 RPM and I've noticed that this engine starts to power up around 4000 so I was thinking it's about the same for Mazda too. Anyone have any idea, or does Mazda do it...

    Long time Mazda fan

    Well, we just got our new Mazda 2 Saturday. Was looking for MT and Spirited Green TR. Had to drive to San Antonio to find one, and it was the only one. Seems a little more lively then the Honda Fit we had last year. Got our first Mazda in 1974, an RX-2. That was really a great car, would...
