    Issue with CX-9 Fuel Consumption reading?

    Any idea why my Mazda CX-9 2018 GT model with odometer 65k showing 16.4/100L fuel consumption whereas it should be between 8.5/100L or 10/100L according to the most Mazda CX-9 2018 advertising says?

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    Hi guys, I recently leased a brand new 2025 cx5 GT with 64km on the clock. I got it with a full tank of gas and it has around 204km on it now at pretty much a half of tank. I literally have a 4km commute to work pure city stop and go, and im driving like a grandmom because I still can't...

    2013~2016 City MPG better than highway MPG? 2016 CX-5

    I've owned my 2016 CX-5 Sport for just over three years now, and I've noticed something that seems odd -- I always seem to get about ~29 MPG in the city (which is great!), but only ~23 MPG on the highway (pretty disappointing). Is that normal for this vehicle? I thought only hybrids got worse...

    2017~2025 What Gas Mileage are you getting with Cylinder Deactivation?

    Seeing report of mid 30s here and there. Never see that on my 17. Wondering if CD helps more than advertised. Please include year, AWD vs FWD, total mileage, where you drive, how you drive, computer or manually computed, and anything else that might be relevant.

    Fuel Odor Inside Car

    I've seen a lot of discussion regarding this issue with the Protege 5- the plastic top of the fuel pump body cracks and leaks fuel. I have a "mystery fuel odor" with my car- no visible liquid on tank or lines. My neighborhood mechanic couldn't find it. As a last resort, took it to the Mazda...

    2.2 diesel poor economy

    Morning all, just taken on a 2014 2.2 diesel in an attempt to reduce some running costs from my previous A6. Bit surprised the mpg is no where near the manufacturers guidelines. On previous cars (Mondeo's, A6, Scirocco, golf...) I can fairly easily get and sometimes exceed the quoted figures so...

    MPG & power mods

    2015 CX-9 Grand Touring package. I love my CX-9 but the MPG is horrible and I could always use more power. Does anyone have info on engine, trans, exhaust, or anything that would increase my MPG and power? PLEASE!(boom05)

    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...

    Diesel vs gas torque/mph graph

    I have updated my CX-5 torque vs mph graph, with numbers for the diesel engine. I assume that gearing stays the same as the gas engine. Diesel is the light gray lines. Note that if you keep the gas engine above 4200 rpm, you will get *faster* acceleration than the diesel, except below 20 mph...

    Low MPG on used '14 CX-5

    I just picked up a used '14 CX-5 with 58k on it and drove 3.5 hours into a winter storm on I-80. The best average gas mileage I got was 20.5 mpg. Is this normal? I was driving into the wind, but loosing ~10 mpg seems kinda drastic. What am I missing?

    2016 CX-9 Real World MPG

    I'm the proud owner of a soul red/sand 2016 CX-9 GT and love it. My only concern is the gas mileage so far -- a poor 16.6 mpg for the initial 150 miles. For reference, the 5 current 2016 cx9 listed on fuelly (http://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/cx-9/2016) show a *minimum* of 21.4 mpg, so should I...

    91 octane?

    2014 Mazda 6 - 58k miles Been using regular 87 octane since I got the car. Yesterday I was distracted when pumping gas and filled with 91. Seems peppier. Is it just in my head?? Anyone notice a difference in performance when using a higher octane gas? Any downside if I continue using 91?

    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...
