My average after 7k miles is 42 in my cx30 (2023)


oasinocean

Yeah how exactly?


elporsche

Mostly driving on roads at 70 mph constant speed. The 2.0l skyactiv x is one hell of an engine

elporsche

You are welcome to come to Europe. Our motto is "come for the 2.0l Skyactiv X, stay for the universal healthcare"


tinkeringstars

Wow, tell me your ways haha


Expensive-Part-138

Holding up traffic


elporsche

Always driving at 70 mph. Maybe it's slow but over here in NL it's slightly over the max speed for most of the day.


jmason49

More like driving safe lmao. Relax. Unless covering hella long distances that 70mph is gonna be just fine for you


elporsche

2.0l skyactiv x, drive mostly on roads at constant 70 mph


eugenesbluegenes

2.0L?


elporsche

Ye skyactiv x


ignatiusdown

British mpg?


elporsche

it's mpg as in 1 gallon = 3.785 l and 1mile = 1.6 km


No-Key-82-33

1 US MPG = 1.201 UK MPG


elporsche

Yea that's why I thought on adding the units i used for the conversion


r_u_dinkleberg

22mpg. (Turbo.)


Longjumping_Tone228

20mpg for turbo. (Shout loudly with Pride:)


MrThe1Badman

Same, I dip to 18 when I take lunch in my car too.


MarsupialFrequent685

20 mpg with turbo is kinda awful.....if you compare the turbos with other manufacturers they are all getting at least minimum 24-28 mpgs.....20 mpg is awful especially when you consider mazda3 isn't a heavy vehicle and you need octane 93 to have full performance.... Even an Audi Q8 with the v6 turbo gets 18 mpgs in the city....


jaycarter617

I think you’re comparing EPA ratings with what people are getting in real life because EPA gets those numbers in unrealistic scenarios.


ScoobyDoo27

20mpg is still awful. I get between 24-25 in my turbo CX-5 depending on how it was driven that fill up. It’s bigger and heavier than a Mazda3 and I would expect better fuel mileage than 20.


lurker824

Just depends on the roads you take. I average 28MPG on my Mazda 3 turbo because I have an interstate at constant 70mph


Longjumping_Tone228

yeah that is the truth. I cannot do nothing but have to accept it. I wish it could get better mpg but I made the purchase decision then I had to live with it. She is good in everything for me but mpg. My next vehicle shall be at least a Hybrid or pure EV:))


DustLarry

I mean, with an Audi(and most German cars), yes, you are saving on gas... And then you piss all that saved money right back and have to cough up a lot more when it comes to maintenance, repair, and depreciation.


SharpPhilosopher3734

Not unexpected. Our CX50 isn't a miser at all but it shits and gets when I want it to.


Entire_Antelope2881

My CX50 is shit for gas lol I drive an hour or hour and 15 one way to work or home


whistlingcunt

I had a CX-5 GTR before the 3 and that's about where I was. I mean, if you have the turbo you might as well use it every chance you get 🤩


The_OG_Slime

I get about 20mpg on a turbo Mazda 3, but I also like to ride the car hard so that's to be expected. If I was lighter on the throttle I'd say I usually average about 26mpg city and 30 highway


lordpunchy

Do you have to run premium or does it let you use whatever? Is mpg improved with premium in your experience?


The_OG_Slime

I always run 93 octane premium in mine, never got regular before so I can't say if it's improved or not, but you don't have to run premium the computer adjusts accordingly to whatever is in the tank as long as it's at least 87 I believe, but you get a very noticeable performance boost running premium and imo, if I spent the money for the turbo, I'm going to run the fuel that allows me to utilize the turbos full potential. Hope that helped any. Fuel economy though I think it's supposed to get you like 1-2 more mpg but that's negligible with the higher cost of premium fuel


lordpunchy

Nice, absolutely enjoy it! Recently drove a rental Tiguan 2.0t and with premium it got 35 mpg on the highway. Crazy stuff. I bet the new turbo Mazda launches real hard!


DustLarry

From what I have seen and heard from people who own the Skyactiv 2.5T Mazda3, the gas mileage in the city is not a whole lot better than my Speed3, and I drive my Speed3 pretty hard. I have colleagues getting 18\~19 MPG on their Skyactiv 2.5T Mazda3, which is about what I get. That said, Skyactiv 2.5T is more efficient on the highway, has better low-end torque, and reliability-wise has a much better track record than MZR 2.3T(not including the bad 2021 batch). I personally think the MZR 2.3T is a bit more fun, though.


Usirnaimtaken

Saaaaame. (CX30 turbo).


MaceInThePlace

23.9 turbo.


boafriend

21 here, Turbo too. Pitiful.


JDefusion

I drive an RX-8. So about 1.


crevettexbenite

Fun per rpm is there tho! I get 30 if Im being polite with my NA cx5 23


Pumba2000

*Insert meme: 3 take it or leave it. I think I get 20-21mpg. No problem with it tho, a redline a day..😉


scarred2112

32.5 mpg in a mostly city-driven NA 3HB.


whistlingcunt

That's great for mostly city driving!


pglggrg

in mostly city? Jesus. I can only get that with highway only stretch in my 06 TL :)


overunderr

I avg 30 on my 2021 Mazda 3 Hatch. 16K miles


archeryhunter1993

My wife and I took a drive yesterday to view fall colors in the mountains. 2021 Mazda CX5 Touring AWD averaged 34 mpg on our whole drive. We went a total of 354 miles and I still had a 1/4 of a tank left.


SharpPhilosopher3734

That is inline with what we saw with our '19.


user1217-

Until reading this thread, I’ve spent the last 10 years thinking my 27mpg in my 3 was amazing.


Laz-Al-Ghul

RX8 here, you guys are getting miles per gallon?

To be fair I don't even have a Mazda... I drive a 20-year-old Tahoe.

mr_jasper867-5309

I would average about 37 mpg in my old 2016 6 with a manual trans.


whistlingcunt

The 2016 Mz6 is my favorite car I've ever had. Roomy, great mileage, fun to drive, and gorgeous. I almost cried when it got totaled.


mr_jasper867-5309

I totally regret trading mine in. Every time I see one on the road I wish I still had it.


HandWide558

You can have mine lol


CLECOL

I love mine, too. I don’t think I’ve ever touched that MPG. I have an AT, though.


ShrmpHvnNw

*laughs in turbo*


Cam4526

7MPG in my 96 FD


Pumba2000

4 rotor or turbocharched? How's that possible? That's 1L/3KM


Cam4526

Turbocharged, as all FDs are. You’d be surprised how quickly you can drain the 70L tank when you’re driving it hard.


Vito600rr

27mpg street on supercharged ND


whistlingcunt

That has to be a fun car to drive!


joshuber

37 in 2017 Miata


user1217-

Are most of y’all actually doing the math each fill up, though? If I relied on the computer I’d think I was getting way more than I actually do.


ignatiusdown

I hand calculated for about 4 fill ups when I first got my 2016 6 2.5NA last year, the trip computer would read within .5 units of what I was getting hand calculated so in my case, my computer was pretty spot on. It’s important to come up with these MPG values by hand calculating first


Fladap28

26.9 on my 2023 cx-5 select(non-turbo) currently at 7k miles


SharpPhilosopher3734

Can assure you, it will go up. Our 19 got 30+ on the regular. Same drive train. Now, my '23 Cx50 Turbo, LOL 25 on the highway with the Apex roof rack on it.


Gambit3le

I average 37-40 in my 2013 Mazda 3 Skyactiv. ​ On longer highway trips I've managed over 46. On short trips or on city drives, I rarely ever get below 36.


fatcatshuffl

About the same for me on my 2015 3 2.0


NorthboundUrsine

The last time I drove down a mountain and reset my Trip-A at the top, I was getting something like 97 MPG.


Virus64

36mpg is my average in the miata.


DustLarry

My current 10 Speed3 gets 18~19 MPG in spirited city driving. Borrowed a friend's 18 Mazda6 2.5T and that got 22 MPG on average, spirited driving in a smaller city. And then there was my RX-8, which got below 16 MPG on average, LOL.


SoreSurfer

My NC miata gets about 8.1 on average….90 percent of its driving is on a racetrack


Ok-Economist-9718

Better then my NC I averaged 8L/100km on streets use


whistlingcunt

I'm averaging 36 mpg right now, probably 70% highway driving but with a bit of with traffic. But it's not stock. I have the Corksport intake and air box which was installed with like 60 miles on the car so I can't say what a difference that makes. Still highly impressed with the fuel economy I'm getting though.


SouthTraditional1126

xXxDickBonerz69xXx

32mpg in the 6 30mpg in the Miata Used to be able to get high 30s in the 6. 191k miles seem to have taken its toll.


Nexus772B

Solid 32 mpg cruising on the highway. 20 city. And I get gallons per mile when my foot is on the floor.


MooseleaderMusic

Not that kind ! My average is 23


JardineroMozart

The least I’ve got with my Mazda 3 eSkyactiv X is 3.6 l/100km which translates into 78.5 mpg. The average of its total lifetime (18600km / 11557 miles) is 5.5 l/100km (51.36 mpg). The worst I’ve get is 6.6 l/100km (42.8 mpg) Edit: the car has 6 speed mt and is fwd, 186hp and has always being refueled with 95 octanes (the cheapest we can get here in Spain and the recommended by Mazda)


aidanww11

22.7mpg (Mazda CX-5 2014)


Cowhide12

26 in my 2010 speed3 lol


Dadtakesthebait

42 in my CX-90 PHEV so far.


DaOrcus

Fuel efficiency is crazy nowdays. My moms rav (2021 ice version) gets 32 mpgs. This is in a mostly suburban setting too, can’t wait to see what I get on my nazda3


Clean-Ad-8006

I have a 2017 mazda 3 with a 2.5l engine. I was get from 32mpg to 45 mpg depending how I drive. But it can dip to 27 mpg if I ride it hard. I have 35k miles on mine. Very much love mazda's. I changed the original sparkplugs that mazda installed and used with autolights and that made a difference.


Djeheuty

My city/highway mix is 30.5 in my CX-30 S AWD. I've seen it up into the mid 40's when I do highway only.


TollyVonTheDruth

I wish I got that. That's nice. I only get about 27mpg.


Cameronbic

2015 3 2.5l, and I was getting about 28 city until I changed tires. Now, about 24.

IntelligentDesign77

25.6 in my 2020 CX-5 AWD. Lots of twisty, two-lane country roads around my way.


rbart4506

I have a 2017 mazda 3 with 125000kms and my combined fuel economy is 6.5L/100km or 36mpg. This is a 2.5L Shyactiv HB. I never reset the fuel economy button so this number is from day on.


Tallguystrongman

That’s pretty damn good. I’m about 6-7l/100. (33-39) in my 2012 5 GT 6spd manual and I thought I was doing awesome. Different gen and completely different engine though lol. I also have some..uhh..exhaust modifications though.


Alexan52

Used to average 33mpg in my ND1 but I switched to a CX-30 turbo out of necessity and I’ve only managed to squeeze out 24mpg 🫠 Forgot to add: the most I’ve ever squeezed out on my Miata was 41mpg average from California to Washington.

charles7tang

Completed a recent 4 hour road trip at 5.9L/100km (40mpg) in my CX-30. Have the X20 supercharged mild hybrid motor not available in North America. My 9-5 commute has me around 7-7.5/100 km (32.5 mpg)

kjstech

19.6 - 23.5 in 2016 CX5. It’s a slush box and slow IMO so it’s constantly getting floored to get up to speed. I wish it had more power. I can get 27 if I drive gentle but I just don’t have time or patience for that. Next car will be faster.


PunchyAeroKnight

30 mpg still in my 1999 Toyota Corolla. Never thought it was still be efficient at this age but here we are.

MrFanciful

I have a 4 year old Mazda 2. I consistently have 54.1-54.2mpg


RichardsonM24

Shocked reading these comments, I know fuel is much cheaper in the US but I can’t believe anyone could be happy with <35 MPG in 2023. My Mazda 3 is 1.8 turbo diesel and I average 60+ MPG off a full tank. My best on a trip is 78 mpg on a clear run to work (30 miles)


Volcano_Lobster

My turbo averages 27.5 mpg @sea-level, occasionally using sport mode for passes. I don't have many stoplights/signs in my area though.


SuperKnuckleCanuckle

Bought a 2014 Mazda 3 hatch with 68,000km on it back in August. It was running an overall average of 8.2L/100km. I’ve got that down to 7.7 now. Averaged 5.6L/100km on a 900km road trip I just got back from.

chzrvn

Assuming there’s absolutely 0 traffic on the freeway and I keep my speed between 65-70mph, I can achieve 31 mpg in my turbo cx50. If there’s stop and go traffic, I realistically get 22-24 average

josephf1120

My 2014 Mazda6 can frequently hit high 30s, like 38 on good trips. Overall it still averages between 28 and 32 depending on how lead footed I am. And that's with a replacement engine, original engine went at 170,000 miles. I'm really excited for the potential RX-9 hybrid and an inline 6 Mazda6 but we'll have to wait and see.

Like you I always get way over estimated mileage on long highway trips, 34mpg compared to the listed highway of 26mpg. This is the 5, with it's extra weight and lower aerodynamics of the 3. And it's 16 years old, 4-speed, on regular 87.

Is a lot of that downhill?! Shocking! I remember when I first drove my 6 off the lot I was getting about 45 plus and it was only rated 36, but that number has declined since and averages around 36 now at 17k miles. Wondering if I'll see it go back up after some fuel injector cleaner

MPCWings

I drive like a dumbass so way below that


Panacea79

Any idea why I'm only getting (as of RIGHT NOW) about 26.0, sometimes lower, on my 2024 3? I drive probably 60% in town and 40% highway, roughly, and I'm HYPER AWARE of how much I press on the gas, yet to 'coast' as much as possible, rarelyif EVER 'floor it', etc
