Replying to: frank4cars (Aug 02, 2005 8:57 am) So far I've seen the following reports: Manual: low of 22 MPG, high of 29 MPG (about 7 tanks reported) Automatic: low of 20 MPG, high of 28 MPG (about 4 tanks reported) These tanks are all for different load weights, etc., and I "stole" some of the mileage reports from other Mazda5 forums. But, based on these, the Mazda5's doing a good job of meeting or exceeding the EPA estimates!

| I encourage all of you MPG buffs to visit www.fueleconomy.gov. Along with tracking your own MPG, you can see real-world numbers for most cars. Sorry to say that no one has posted for the 5 yet. | |

Hi, I did my first fill-up after reaching almost a half tank. I have a Touring edition with the 5 speed manual. 193.6 miles on 6.906 gallons = 28.03 MPG 40% stop and go freeway traffic; 40% cruising speeds (65 MPH); 20% city streets. A very positive start. |

I just filled up my Mazda5, auto trans, for the first time. 338 miles driven since the dealer filled it up, and I just put 13.35 gallons in to fill it up again: 25.3 MPG! About 80% of the miles were highway. Most of the miles were with only 2 people in the car (driver + passenger) but some of the miles were with 4 people. We actually drove it up a small mountain when we had 4 people in it, so I thought that our MPG would suffer...it doesn't seem like it did. Considering that we had the AC on 100% of the time during these 338 miles, I'm very satisfied with the MPG that I got! By the way, my gas light went on 18 miles before I filled up my tank, and when I filled it up I only put 13.35 gallons into the 15.9-gallon tank. Based on these numbers, I think that I had a little more than 3 gallons left in the tank when the gas light went on...that's kinda early for it to come on, but better early than too late! My Civic is the same way: it has a 13-gallon tank, but I've never put more than 11 gallons into it because the gas light goes on when there are about 3-4 gallons left in the tank. |

I got a little over 28 mpg again. This time I had a passenger and gear in the car at least 25% of the time. I think once the engine really gets broken in, 30 mpg may not be out of the question.
