Actual MPG with your 2014 Mazda6

[MazdaVirgin]

After 3200km (2000miles) of mixed city and highway driving i am achieving 6.1l/100km (38.56mpg)
EDIT - should mention that I have the skyactive diesel

After 6,200 miles and 1 year, and maybe 60/40 city to highway, I'm averaging 27 MPG even combined (and I've been tracking it in a spreadsheet so I know that's accurate). Of course winter driving really kills the MPG and the traffic jams up here in rush hour traffic don't help either. Rampage

After almost a year and 32K miles I'm averaging 32.3. The cold winter temps and winter tires didn't help things nor does my driving style. I'm about 80% highway and set the cruise just under 80 mph.

Averaging 32.3 mpg over 38k miles.

I can't get past 30.2 average MPG and I'm most freeway miles. I've been testing the cruise control a lot and it slowly increased it from 29.9 to 30.2. I've also been trying to figure out how to get closer to the 33 avg MPG they claimed.

I have achieve a 35.9 MPG, by keeping the acceleration low, and mostly down hill

Just fueled up yesterday, went 560 miles on 15.15 gallons! Not quite my best of 37.9 mpg, but pretty close at 36.9 mpg!

I just bought the Soul 6 GT Almond (w/ iEloop) used with 13,711 miles, was a Mazda Corporate Car. I will be posting the miles soon. I do 70% Highway with about 200 miles per week. Also, with my MSP, I would lose 4 MPG in the Winter with the oxygenated 92 Octane (turbo). I've never used Fuelly, any recommendations or tips?

What calculation method do you use?

What calculation method do you use?

I log all my mileage on fuelly.com and always hand calculate it out every tank. I'm kind of OCD like that.

For just under 17000 miles, I have averaged 35.3 using Fuelly. I just returned from a 5100 mile trip from NC, driving the byways of Vermont, Acadia NP in Maine, Quebec City in Canada, Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, upper Michigan, 3 days in Wisconsin, 2 days in Iowa, 8 days in Nebraska, and back to NC. Most interstate was 65MPH, much of the byways were in lower gears due to the sharp curves, and hills, and there was in-town driving in all the places I stayed more than 1 day. For the 5100 mile trip, using my gas receipts, not my trip computer, I averaged 39.02MPG. Driving 65MPH on the interstate, I get 41-43MPG, the same as I got in my Mazda2! I am thrilled with my mileage. The biggest dropoff has been in-town driving with the AC on, which is to be expected. The seats are so comfortable, that I was never uncomfortable during the 5100 mile trip, even during the 810 mile/14.5 hour first day. The handling on the byways was great(my other car is a Miata). This is the best road car I have ever had.

10-21-14: 27.40 MPG Car Calculation, 27.25 MPG Calculator Calculation. 11-1-14: 27.90 MPG Car Calculation, 27.87 MPG Calculator Calculation. Not good at all considering I have the i-ELOOP thinga-mabobber.

@Pmpkinhead, don't believe everything you read on the internet, especially car forums where some have the compulsion to exaggerate fuel effiency. Your results are about 1-2 mpg better than my non-I-eloop GT auto with nearly the same mileage before I wholesaled it last week. I won't bore you with the issues that pushed me to cut my losses. One bought, one sold. It happens every day.

Hope you find yours more agreeable than mine, and also hope you paid no more than $23K for your Mazda owned GT with the coconut regen brake capacitor. These things lose value like yesterday's news, partly because the marque on the whole holds abysmal resale, but moreso because there are new '14's sitting side-by-side next to new 15's on stealership lots for sale new as I post, literally several months into the 2015 model year.

Can't wait to see the 2nd gen CX-9 with 2.5 anemic litres of Shitactiv displacement, at which point the 1st gen and a half will have essentially survived 9 lives/9 years and untold PTO and Aisin 6-speed failures around the 50-70K mike mark, not to mention millions of bad FoMoCo brakes, and rear shocks that require appreciable rear quarter interior trim removal and reassembly to replace once they inevitably leak.

To say good luck would be too phony for my brand of brutal honesty, but I do hope you like yours more than i liked mine. Least you were smart enough to go in used.

Goin' from a 2003.5 155K MSP, this is really nice! I have already gutted the trunk to do undercoating so that's no biggie. I hope she continues to treat me well. I will be tearing the brakes apart next weekend and lubeing the s*** out of it like I do to all of my cars so I shouldn't have any problems with the Calipers at least. Any defects to look for specifically will be appreciated!!! Thanks for your post. The "low horse power" part of the car has not been an issue at all!
