So now that folks have some mileage on these engines is anyone experiencing carbon buildup ala the VW audi direct injection engines? my cx5 has 30k and I'm not sure if it needs a good fuel injection treatment, mileage seems down a bit even though I've replaced the air filter, checked tires and...

Any chance the tune could get some of the mileage back lost due to the slightly lower compression and tune for regular gas in the US vs Europe?

The range to empty counter on my cx5 seems to vary after each fill up from 378 mi to 417 mi and I can't figure out why. It use to be more consistent showing 400+ mi range after each fill up prior to driving. Any idea what is going on?

Could my k&n filter be hurting my mileage ? Running Mobil 1 0w-20 and the car should be broken in.

Ive been struggling lately to get 30mpg on hwy trips at 70mph steady state. I was able to do it early on, but lately I'm in the high 20s. Car has 17,000mi and it's impeccably maintained.

I'm trying to figure out the sweet spot between 65 and 75 for the best mileage. I will say that wind makes a material difference in mileage.

Mph with the 40 and 70 reference. I wish that was my mpg :)

At 6500mi we have no issues meeting or exceeding 26/32 on our FWD auto CX5. I average 40 in the city and 70 on the hwy. I think the CX5 is under rated on mileage. Keep your tire pressures up and be more gingerly with the throttle.The RX8 issues were over power not economy.

Has anyone installed the rear backup sensors after the fact? I'm not talking about the back up camera but the audio alert system for objects, kids etc.....

We have 2,400 miles and while we have no trouble hitting the city mileage target (we get 26-27mpg), can't seem to do much better than 30-31 on the highway (averaging 70ish). I figure I'd exceed the hwy mpg with this car, but I may not be fully broken in yet. What mileage did it take for you...

my return trip mileage was no where near as impressive, averaging 70mph and driving into the wind I only managed 28 mpg (trip computer said 30). My 39mpg may very well have been an incomplete fill up, I know the handle clicked but I of course can't see into the tank. Looks like wind can really...

my wife and I drove our automatic touring to Austin from Houston this weekend, I did 123.5 miles on 3.1 gal of fuel for almost 40mpg!!!!! I was shocked, trip computer was way off, showing like 33mpg. Car only has 1700 miles so not even broken in. Our average speed was 63mph but we did several...

I'm really a easy going person! Ask Carolyn :) I had four different roomates in college and I'm friends with all of them. I just have to be careful per all the legal responsibilities I have to my home owners association. Real life is fun when you own something.

I've got an extra bedroom in a condo near the Galleria I'm looking to rent out for $600/month all bills paid (power,water,phone,internet,cable....all you cover is food). Since I'm a car guy I figure it would be nice to find someone who was as well. the room has its own bathroom, and is pretty...
