1. fill up your tank
2. clock the tripometer
3. when you go to the gas station to fill up next, note how many gallons it takes to fill up your car. if you fill up 15.5 gallons, then thats how much gas you burned previously.
4. divide the number by the amount of miles you put on your tripometer by the amount of gallons filled up. NOT the size of your gas tank, because you dont burn all of the gas unless you run out completely)
5. that should give you your gas mileage
example 300 miles driven divided by 15.5 gallons = 19.35 mpg

btw, you'll need to divide 550km by liters or whatever (not gallons). since im talking about miles and gallons

i dont have an ms6 but i have a honda civic that gets 45 mph with 185,000 miles on the engine, run hard all its life with no engine repairs. just change fluids and regular maintanance stuff. its funny cause this car has not a single oil leak anywere from any gaskets. talk about a lucky pic. this baby is my commuter. Its worth gold to me. sorry for this pointless info. My MS3 gets 20-30 depending on how much boost. and again for some more pointless info. have a merry christmas all you mazda lovers. Zoom zoom and seriously, i have a MS3 and i love mazda 2

I'm still averaging about 22mpg for usual driving, but have seen up to 29 mpg on highway trips. I'm driving to western PA on the weekend, so I'll see what kind of numbers I can put down.
Same here. It is also due to the fact that it takes longer for the car to warm up to operating temperature, and the cars run pig rich when the engine is cold.
Also, colder air is more dense, thus for the same volume of air, there is more mass, thus more fuel is needed to keep the proper a/f ratio
not to mention the "winter mix" fuel contains addivites to keep the fuel from freezing, which hurts MPG.
up in canada they do add stuff to the gas so it wont freeze.. cant recall what its called.. ill check next time i go fill up.. it says so right on the pump

I'm still getting really poor winter MPG. Last tank was 13.69 MPG, thats horrendous.
I'm starting the car for about 5-10 minutes every morning or so, and its all city driving, but i'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with the car. Its not like i'm flooring it wherever i go either.

For people who need help searching for answers (can't take the effort to do it themselves):
