I rented a Mazda5 automatic for the 3-day weekend. I drove 570 miles. On a 150 miles highway run (68-73 mph with AC on, myself and a dog) it averaged 33mpg. Urban driving, with 5 passenger (2/3 freeway driving, no stop & go traffic), it averaged around 28mpg. The entire trip/3 day average was 29.5 mpg

| I just got back from a round trip from San Diego to L.A. (230 mile total) and I got 30.4mpg averaging 68 mph. 3 adults and 5 pieces of luggage on board (full load), so I am very happy with my mpg results. | |

I bought a new 2008 Mazda 5 in January 2009. I was really sold on the 22 city-28 highway mpg estimates. So far, on 3 fill-ups, i've got 19.5 , 20.5, and 20.5 mpg. My wife was doing most of the driving on the 1st two tanks, and i did most of the driving on the 3rd tank. Our driving would be considered 50% city, 50% highway. The city is really 40mph suburban. I was expecting an average of 24-25 mpg overall. Getting 20.5 has been disappointing. I did have a little trouble getting the gas cap off on the 2nd fill-up. I've noticed forums talking about a "break-in period", which i'm not familiar with. So i'm gonna take it into the dealer. I don't think expecting 24-25mpg from a brand new 4 cylinder in unreasonable. I have a 1994 Lumina APV 6 cylinder that is getting 16mpg. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Replying to: 5_more (Feb 20, 2009 8:07 pm) The funny thing is, I was all set to buy a 2008 Sedona: but Bought the Mazda instead. The Sedona got very poor gas mileage customer reviews. I really wanted gas efficiency.
