Please report on your CX-7 mileage here. Include your odometer reading, city/highway mix, driving style or anything else you think may help others compare their mpg with yours. Thanks! Steve, Host |

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 25, 2006 9:57 am) the tests seem disappointing.

I picked up my Icy Blue CX-7 with 12 miles on the odometer. I put about 120 miles on the car before filling up in order to check the mpg. I just filled it up for the first time shortly after the reserve light came on. It held 16.379 gallons, 285 miles, for an average of 17.40 mpg. This would be what I consider to be mostly city driving (i.e. stop & go interstate rush hour, city errands and a small amount of actual hiway. I am very pleased considering the Mazda-5 I replaced improved until the moment it was totaled in a rear end collision about three weeks ago. The 5 started at about 19.5 mpg and had increase to just under 24mpg combined driving. I am hopeful to ge the CX-7 numbers to around 20-22 combined in a few thousand miles. I drive very sedately so depending how you are with your right foot it could be better or worse.

I just picked up my GT AWD on Monday evening, 200 miles this week, and used 12.8 gallons for an average of 15.6 MPG mostly city and rural roads, no highway driving. All of the miles were under 50 MPH. I'll keep you posted. I almost cancelled my order from December due to a run around at the dealership, but I must say, "I am so glad that I didn't"!!

Replying to: russ_49 (Jul 01, 2006 2:56 am) 17.5 17.25 ??.? 18.5 So far. I'm a pretty aggressive driver. Driving is mixed city/interstate in the DC burbs. |

Just filled up after 813 miles on the odo. Last fill up  402 miles and since then used a total of 21.630 gallons for an average MPG of 19.09. I drive approx 40 miles daily to and from work in what I consider to be the tail end of rush hour traffic on the interstate. Considering the amount of traffic and the amount of stop and go driving I do these numbers would reflect about a 50%/50% driving mix. My first calculation showed 17.4 mpg several days ago. The fact that the car still has under 1000 miles I am confident that it should get into the mid 20's after a few more tanks. Tomorrow I will have my first chance the do a hiway trip and see what its like on the open road.

Just filled up for the second time, did 266 miles on 13.7 gallons. About 45% highway, 120 of the miles. Getting better, and the milage is not much different from the 02 Millina S that I traded in!

Getting better, 175.2 miles, 8.862 gallons. Had to stop and fill up tonight at a local station which has not raised their price today! WOW most of the stations here on the south shore of Boston just popped the price per gallon around 12 to 14 cents a gallon from the time I left for work this morning!
