    CX-5 fuel issues

    Hi My CX-5 seems to getting a lower than expected fuel economy. The agents claim that it should do less than 9L/100Km and mine shows 12.3L/100Km or more. Today the agents said the A/F sensor may be blocked internally so to run at high RPM to clean it. Tried that but it doesn't seems to work...

    Another Performance Exhaust Question

    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...

    Some questions for fellow Mazda 2 owners;

    I recently purchased a 2013 Mazda 2 Sport Automatic brand new from the dealership. When driving it home I noticed a hissing sound that almost seems to be coming from the rear right side. It is most prominent when at 1000-2000 RPMs though it can show up while freeway driving at 3000 rpms and...

    Accurate Average MPG display

    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...
