#141 of 378 Re: My 5 Doesn't Seem To Be Getting the MPG Most of you Get... [truckasaurus] by nissmazlover Jul 20, 2006 (11:20 am)
Replying to: truckasaurus (Jul 20, 2006 2:58 am) Thanks for the replies, guys. I guess I'm doin' alright, then. It must be because most of my driving is city driving that I am getting lower MPG figures then most people here that live in places where highway, or long stretch driving, is more common. Just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with my Max - that's how I named my 5.
#142 of 378 Japan safety test by muffin_man Jul 21, 2006 (1:53 pm)
Couldn't find any reference to it in this discussion, but the Mazda5 (Premacy in Japan) received perfect scores on the Japanese test, 6 x 6 stars. If you search for NASVA you will be able to find it, but it's going to be tricky if you don't read Japanese.
#143 of 378 after the first 1400 km.. by riproy Jul 28, 2006 (9:25 am)
With our GT 5 speed, we have averaged 8.1 L/100 or 29 mpg (US) during mostly highway driving at around 110 km/h with 4-5 passengers aboard plus gear and the A/C on. There have been no problems to report. I am pleased so far.

#145 of 378 First Tank by zoom500 Aug 04, 2006 (4:41 am)
Got 25.3 mpg on the first tank mix of city/highway and a/c on 100% of the time, always had 3 to 5 people in the car. Much more fun and quick than the ford station wagon I was driving.
#146 of 378 MPG after 2600 miles by zzoomguy Aug 17, 2006 (6:54 pm)
We picked up our Mazda5 Touring Auto and left two days later on a trip to Maine from the New York Metro area where we live. First fill-up surprised the heck out of me with almost 30 mpg. The next few were also around 29 mpg. Once we got back home I've gotten around 22.5 on two tankfuls in suburban-type driving, which is a bit disappointing, but these were with air-con running at max because of the heat-wave. It seems the 5's mpg is very sensitive to the use of the air-con. The current tank seems to be doing much better, with little air-con use, but I'll have to see when I fill up.
#147 of 378 MPG after 1000 miles by burtlancaster Aug 20, 2006 (12:15 pm)
My average after 1000 miles is about 24-25 MPG for every tankful. I was hoping for better mileage, but the AC has been on every moment the car was driven, so maybe it will improve. I'm not a leadfoot, and about 75% has been highway (60-70mph), so I'm hoping turning off the AC will improve MPG. In San Antonio, that won't happen for another few months... I am satisfied with the car, and this is much better mileage than my Honda Odyssey, which has a hard time averaging 20 MPG (usually closer to 19 MPG).

Replying to: burtlancaster (Aug 20, 2006 12:15 pm) Similar experience here in Houston.   I've had it for 8000 miles, about a 50/50 mix of 55 - 75mph highway, and stop and go on Highway 6 and around town. In the spring I was getting 26-27mpg in AT, with the AC mostly off. In manual mode, I lead-foot it, and only get 23-24mpg. I also get 23-24mpg in AT with AC on all summer. Not as good as I'd hoped (I was hoping to double my mpg to 34, seeing how my old truck got 17mpg). Oh well, it's still good for a car   bc
