I'm getting 19 MPG mixed, which is exactly the "new" EPA estimate for city. How can it be that so many of you are reporting city MPG in the mid to high 20s? I have the AC on about 1/3 of the time, with only one passenger in the car. I'm kind of disappointed with the M5 mileage. Why is the Matrix so much better? The weight can't be that different, right?

Replying to: daharon (Jun 01, 2007 2:23 pm) I'd check your tire pressure and maybe bump it up to 36psi all the way around if you don't mind a slightly rougher ride. My only other guess is that you drive a bit faster than others. |

Replying to: daharon (Jun 01, 2007 6:32 pm) Matrix/Vibe: 2700 lbs Mazda5: 3300 lbs Rondo: 3500 lbs Dodge Caravan: 5600 lbs how many miles are you getting on a tank? maybe still breaking in but I'd ask the dealer if it doesn't step it up. I'm usually filling up about 13 gallons when the fuel alert light comes on. I don't think I've ever been below 280 miles on the tripometer in that situation - at 19mpg you would only be like 250. Usually now in the 330 +/- 10mpg range on this bad MN gas - mixed driving and a/c on frequently doesn't seem to impact much.

Replying to: jeffpurd (Jun 02, 2007 2:56 am) Given that is hilly around here I was expecting a worse number. I can't complain... |

Replying to: daharon (Jun 01, 2007 2:23 pm) PA. Why? Hi daharon. We also live in PA and have owned the MZ5 for almost 2 years. We have filled-up tanks from places ranging from WaWa to Cumberland Farms (87 oct gas). I should say that those are not the best gas stations around  but still we get ~24.5MPG city and ~30-31MPG pure highway. My only suggestion would be to take it to the dealer in the next service appointment or and ask them to check how the computer is handling the gas-air mixing into the engine (or something like that) as 19MPG seems really low
