I run my air in auto at 69 degrees and drive at speeds ranging from stop and go traffic to 80. I consistantly get 28 + every fill up. I keep my tires at 34 PSI. My air is NEVER shut off. I get about 110 Miles to the 3/4 line about 200-210 at the 1/2 way line and about 325 with it just above the empty mark when I fill it up. Love it, but it needs a passenger arm rest. |

| I have an 06 Touring 5 speed and I check the mpg every tankful. There's about a 2 mpg difference between winter and summer driving. I don't use the AC much, so I do better in the summer. I average about 27-28 around town and 30-31 on the highway. Not bad but I want 40mpg. Guess I'll have to buy a Civic to get that. My Fit auto gets about 35 mpg around town as we don't take it on the highway much. Hope this hepls someone. | |

Replying to: evped (Aug 25, 2007 8:38 am) I like the Mazda5 & Rondo configuration, but I wish they were about 6" longer to have more space behind the 3rd row, so the headrests weren't touching the rear glass and to give more cargo space.

Replying to: bobw3 (Aug 25, 2007 10:24 am) 3rd row seats don't touch the glass though (I do believe is the same case for the Rondo). Yes, not too much space left when in use, but I've managed to get a flattened large stroller in the back of the 3rd seat when needed. 6" more sounds like a minivan is needed, May be a Caravan or similar is in order (unfortunately)? |

Replying to: bobw3 (Aug 26, 2007 7:07 pm)  . I dunno where the mini prefix comes from anymore  This is the one I was thinking about: 2007 Caravan (w/o the Grand), 189.3" Exterior Length. This trim may have disappeared with the new 2008 boxy style though  http://autos.yahoo.com/dodge_caravan_swb_se-specs/?p=ext

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Aug 27, 2007 5:47 am) I'm looking for something that can get in the mid-30s highway MPG and be the size of a small Caravan. |

My wife wrote the mileage on each fill-up receipt. Record keeping had some holes, but results as follows. 27.9, 31.26(3 tanks), 24.48(3 tanks), 29.7, 25.50, 27.66, 28.71, 29.75, 33.45, 30.92, 32.08, 32.08 Total average (29.98) typical driving 1 adult 4 children, Best mileage probably due to highway 65mph on cruise control. AC on partial due to window tinting. 5 speed manual. Highest 33.45 lowest 24.48. |
