Have you been driving differently? You know, more city than highway, getting on it a little more at stop lights, etc...

Air pressure in your tires change? Climate change? Driving with A/C on all the time?

 

[dmhrace]

tire pressure is the same. the ac is on all the time since its summer in phx but i dont remember it being that bad last summer as far as driving my wife drives it the most and she noticed the change in milage and she doesnt drive it like i do so i dont think thats it

wow thats incredable, i havent tested mine in a long time, but i used to get somewhere around 330 for a full tank

when I top opff the tank I CAN and have gotten 425 on the tank, with "some" fuel left in the tank.... a lot has to do with your driving style, highway/city split...


try resetting the ecu... that always helps for me before I go on a trip

Hi dmhrace I think I've seen your car around. Does your mp3 have altezza taillights. I have a spice orange mazdaspeed protege. Any way there is an arizona forum thats also a good forum if you want to check it out. Its www.mazsports.com Aso for the mileage I get about 26mpg with ac but I drive very conservatively(shifting at about 3000rpm in every gear).

 

[Auzzie_Mp3]

i shift either 2g or 3g depends

 

[dmhrace]

yup johnnyspeed thats most likly mine if you have seen it in the northwest valley

I get 460 on the highway.

i don't know how u guys define a "full tank", but i roughly calculate mpg which falls between 23 mpg (all city) and 30 mpg (all hwy)

and if all the driving conditions are almost identical, it could be the gas station factor. although it shouldn't be that much lol...

or try fuel injection cleaner if never been added (or time to replace fuel filter?!)...that's all i can think of...

(omg) I wish mine got that. Holy crap. I mean...I try not to let anyone beat me too bad off the red light but I don't thing I drive mine that hard. Dude I wish I got that for mine. I think mine is about 390 to 400. I mostly drive highway. I don't hit a red light until I'm almost at work.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

with my turbo and other mods i get about 27-31 mpg highway..
in the city i get about 19-22
damn lead foot

All thanks to higher compression and other mods.
