    new skyactive 2.5liter gas engine

    well after re-thinking this I kind of doubt for cost savings sake they would not design a completely new tranny, as gearing changes would completely change the gearsets, and thus the tranny casing.. however they could possibly change the final drive ratios, and the front/rear drive ratios on the...

    OK, major issue now...

    absolutely correct. this is the one downside to a non-urea injection system like "ford" has in their diesel trucks... it's another fluid tank to fill... extra fuel is added at intervals to burn hotter, and regenerate the DPF.. if this were a urea injection system you would not have this issue...

    new skyactive 2.5liter gas engine

    I would imagine that along with the nefound torque of the new 2.5 that they could also change the gearing ratios in the trannies, and redefine the parameters on the ECU for efficiency... I could easily see a skyactive 2.5 doing 28-34MPG being as the old 2.5 in my 07' mazda 6 pulls around...

    fuel gauge and remaining gas

    the AWD has a 15gallon tank, and my "idiot light" light came on.. I filled it up, took 12.5 gallons, meaning it had 2.5gallons or so still in the tank.. also the guage if you notice on teh last 1/4 tank has 5 squares instead of 3.. my light came on at 3 squares.. this means when your idiot light...
