Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

[N7turbo]

There are too many variables between two people in different locations to make that comparison. Overall, I don't think wheel weight has a big effect on economy. Personally, I dropped 6.5 lb per corner and I don't believe I gained any fuel economy from it. The fuel economy differences between different tires is well known though.

My 2025 CX-5 2.5L turbo is going through its first tank of gasoline. I have 36% gas remaining in the tank having traveled 181 miles of mostly highway driving. Not very good mileage, but the thing has to break in (I am hoping).

Today I refilled my 2025 turbo CX-5 fuel tank with 93 octane. The previous tank was 87 octane the car salesman had put in. The computer indicated that my mileage on that first tank was 19.8, but the actual mileage by tank top-off was 20.8
Mostly highway driving, but around town I wasn’t babying it.

Don’t even try paying attention to the mileage indication on the instrument cluster. It should come with a disclaimer saying “for estimation and entertainment purposes only”.
