Replying to: roverton (Oct 01, 2005 7:09 pm) Maybe it's the 3 extra horsepower?   Or the drag of the AVAILABLE roofrack   Or the extra weight of the fire resistant exhaust heatshield

Replying to: roverton (Oct 01, 2005 7:09 pm) My automatic 2004 Mazda3 loaner averaged only 19.5 mpg on the second tank, all in city. I've been a little heavy on the peddle so I could have done better. Replies to this message: bigbear54 (Oct 19, 2005 8:34 am) drspongklong (Oct 19, 2005 4:24 pm)
#53 of 378 MPG after 4024 miles MZ5 5 Speed by mrgary Oct 02, 2005 (6:58 pm)
Well we took our MZ5 on vacation just before the recall. We put 1389 miles on it and averaged 30.5 MPG. For the entire 4024 miles of owner ship averaging 28.9 MPG but I am not a race type driver. Can't wait to get it back. The MPV is ok but not so much fun to drive. Although it is keeping the miles off my car.. Replies to this message: pir8matt (Oct 03, 2005 9:53 am)

Replying to: mrgary (Oct 02, 2005 6:58 pm) I imagine the 5-speed would put up numbers like that.   I have to admit, I was surprised the automatic was a 4 speed. When I test drove it, I noticed it was only going up to 4, but we were just driving in a small neighborhood behind the dealership and never really got above 35 MPH. The saleperson said he thought it was a 5-speed, so I bought it thinking that it was.   But my sport automatic had about 212 miles on it when I took it to the dealer for the recall, and it was just about out of gas. That means I was barely getting 20MPG. That sucks.
#55 of 378 Driving Style by bobw3 Oct 03, 2005 (10:41 am)
Driving style makes a huge impact on mpg, so depending on when you shift or in an automatic, how hard you push the pedal down after stoplights, can add/subtract 5-10mpg. Try it yourself. Go for a week starting off more gradually, keeping the rpms down and manually calculate the mpg, and then go the next week racing around.

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 03, 2005 10:41 am) Well, I pretty much have a leadfooted driving style, but I was hoping it would get good mileage in spite of my driving style.   Zoom-zoom, and all that, right? Replies to this message: bobw3 (Oct 03, 2005 6:28 pm)

Replying to: pir8matt (Oct 03, 2005 10:46 am) Then you should expect to get a lot less mpg than what's posted on the car, since thats calculated by a non zoom zoom driver!

Replying to: perfectofc (Jul 25, 2005 12:35 pm) I got 34.5 mpg after calculating the first couple of fillups, now have 1500km....only had it 2 weeks though, sitting in the shop for 2 months or so because of the recall.....now driving a Charger SXT with about half that gas milage....if I'm lucky!!

Replying to: roverton (Oct 01, 2005 7:09 pm) Picked my 5 up a week or two ago. I've filled the tank twice...700 miles on the odometer.   Initial full tank from dealer: 23 mpg 1st fillup: 26 mpg   Mix of city/highway...plenty of stop and go through downtown Orlando.

Replying to: bwaters (Oct 02, 2005 6:29 pm) I took a 2005 MAZDA 5 Five Door 2.3 as a rental while my MAZDA 5 is parked awaiting repair, so far I have been averaging 30 to 31 MPG on the road, the in town mileage is around 23 to 25 depending on how hard I push it.
