You missed understood me. I am new to mazda. Before that I have always had ford.
Ok. It read like you were implying that your car was actually a Ford under the skin. That was probably true prior to 2014, but not anymore.
As for gas mileage, I'm in Canada, so we use litres/100kms.
I drive almost 100% city, suburbs, and mostly short trips, so my gas usage is probably worse than most. Still, Last time I checked, I think I was at around 9l/100kms, although I haven't checked lately.
I don't put a lot of Kms on my car, so I don't really get concerned about gas usage.
