Mazda 3 mileage

[wolverine_man]

Hmm, then maybe my computer is grossly underestimating my fuel economy??? I cleared my trip at my last fill up, so I'll first check how many miles I have when the gas light comes on. That should give me a general idea perhaps. Next fill up I'll have to do it the right way by hand.

Guess not. I just filled it up, divided the gallons by the number of miles that were on my trip, and I am getting only 22.94 mpg. Damn. I hope it gets better than that after it's broken in. I have just of 1K miles on my 3. I was expecting to average about 25 to 26 mpg. My computer at the time of fill up said my Avg. Consum. was 23.9 so I guess that thing is off by 1 mpg in favor of my engine, not me. And I drove close to 70 percent highway on that tank and I only got on it once.
