mpg

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...

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...

I have a 2018 CX-5 GT AWD. Ive had it for over a month and im still averaging (according to the computer) about 280 miles per tank which seems a bit low. According to mazda specs, the 2018 GT AWD has a fuel tank capacity of 15.3 gallons. Also, according to their estimates MPG is 24 city / 30...

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...

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...

Hi All New to the site and CX-5. Just purchased a 2012 2.2 d sports nav ( 175 ) I have only been driving it since Sat 1st Nov expecting the mpg 2 be around 42. I have been driving it carefully in cruising and acceleration, however I can not get tje MPG above 30. This is a lot below the...

I have a great exhaust and muffler shop down the street from where I live. I have used it for the last two Miata's I've had. When I upgraded the exhaust and installed a high flow cat, it yielded more power, response, and better gas mileage. It only cost me $250 for the cat, exhaust, and tips. I...

first of all, forgive my ignorance. I bought this new 2014 mazda CX5 GT and few months ago and was unhappy as it was giving only 22-23 mpg. Today only I figured out that I was using an online calculator which was in US gallon. I tried the imperial one and Voila..!!!! I am getting 28-29 MPG which...

I've been through 10 tanks now with my 2014 AWD Touring and I'm getting satisfying numbers: https://www.fuelly.com/driver/maxwax/cx5 However, I want better. I think the three strikes against me are: * Driving at 5000 feet altitude in Colorado. I think I'm losing engine efficiency compared to...

I am inquiring about peoples average mpg as mine seems a little low. My driving is about 50% city 50% highway, not usually much traffic, just red lights. I am not a high speed driver so it stays around speed limit 90% of the time. It is a 5spd so i coast when i can and shift before 3k rpm (try...

i have a 5mt 03 p5 and i was wondering when (rpm range) is it best to shift at for good fuel economy? i have been doing it between 2,300-3,000 rpm and seems to be getting around 26-27 with about 50/50 city/freeway my dad had the car before me and is more experienced with a stick shift and...

Figured I would put this out since I havn't seen any other confirmations yet. I drive 80 mile round trip each day, about 32 miles each way of highway, on mostly cruise control from 65-70mph, and the rest as light town driving. Previous car was a Acura RSX-S and I saw about 31mpg average(on...

I've noticed when I drive my 2013 CX 5 AWD and am starting out from a stop that the mpg reading is very low which i realize is normal. As I accelerate with the speed increasing I can feel the transmission starting to shift so I take my foot off the gas a little and the mpg reading goes up. Are...

Hi, I own a 2013 CX-5 GT AWD with about 15k miles on it. I am seeing combined mpg of 24-25 this is atleast around 4mpg lesser than what others seem to report for an AWD. I dont consider myself as an aggressive driver. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should do or try? I am pretty...

Hi everyone! I just purchased a "new" grand touring that was used as a demo by the sales manager. When I got in the car the avg mileage showed about 25. I have driven it for just over 100 miles and the avg mpg showed 34.1 for that distance. However the gas gauge had dropped by over a quarter...

The trip computer on the CX-5 is the first trip computer I've ever used that accurately calculated the Average MPG figure when compared to the figure derived from manual calculations. I know this to be true because I have carefully tracked it over 1600 miles of mixed driving. All my previous...

well did a long road trip in our T/awd this weekend for wifes brothers graduation, drove from central ny to north west central ohio and back bad winds first day so our mileage in ny was barely mid-high 20's got up to just about 30 on tank average once we got to flatter pa-oh on way back, with...

Hey all, Just got a 2002 Protege5 manual and am used to driving a 77 Chevy C-10 stepside pickup, so just a little difference in vehicles. I used to have an '82 RX-7 back in '97 and it was the funnest car to drive, so far the Protege5 is catching up. Well, here are the questions that I have. 1)...

I've been reading alot regarding the various ways to mod my intake system. I'm new to modding and don't want to spend too much money to begin with. One option I am looking at is what's referred to as the "swiss cheese" air box mod. This involves drilling holes in the lower portion of the air box...

So i found this video, and it talks about a couple known tips, but then about Acetone.. I have NEVER heard of this "secret tip" before. So, is it safe? does anyone know? Im not putting this sh*t in if its a problematic solution.. I know there is A Lot of info on it online BUT, [B]has anyone...
