    2017~2025 How does our new CX-5 send mileage info to MyMazda.com

    So as the title says we are just wondering how MyMazda.com get updated mileage information. Is the vehicle using our cell data over the BT connection or does the CX-5 have its own cellular or wifi modem?

    Test of MPG at various speeds: results

    I was curious what effect different speeds would have on the MPG I would get since here in Utah, the urban speed limit is 70 MPH which generally means the lanes vary from <70 to 80 MPH so when there's not congestion, you often can select your desired speed and pick a corresponding lane. Much of...

    How Accurate Is Your Range?

    The last car I that I drove which calculated range was my Dad's 2002 Taurus. It was terrible at estimating, and it ended up making me wary of this feature. However, that was 13 years ago. I'm sure technology has advanced. So let me ask you, how accurate have you found your CX-5's estimated...

    Peculiar Gas Consumption @ 3k+ RPM

    First of all, my bad if this has been posted before but I'm brand new to the forums and didn't find anything regarding this specific issue in the existing threads. I recently bought a 2003 Protege5 from a private seller with 140,000 km, regular oil changes, etc. etc. My mechanic deemed it is in...

    Tips for getting the best MPG

    I was not particularly pleased with the mileage I got on my last tank (24.3 mpg). I know it was due to my lead foot and a lot of stop and go city driving for most of the tank. As I started thinking about ways to improve my mileage without absolutely taking all the fun out of driving, I...

    AWD at 34 mpg highway and other notes

    After having my new CX5 (AWD, Automatic) for only one week, I couldn't be any more thrilled. After an 80 mile road trip through the mountains with lots of climbing and decending, my trip computer registered 34 mpg for the entire trip. I was expecting only 30 mpg, so I hope the good mpg results...
