Replying to: donlee2 (Nov 05, 2007 5:30 pm) I'd say my mileage is about 2 mpg off the EPA estimates for '07: 16 mpg around town (driving like I stole it) and 22 mpg on the freeway (a fully loaded vehicle). -c92 |

Replying to: johnny__rf (Jan 08, 2008 4:50 am)  Everyone on these forums KNOWS that the CX-7 is a gas-guzzler. And anyone who is considering the CX-7 should anticipate dismal MPG. As a point of reference, as everyone knows, if they care to search my posts, that I don't care about MPG. MPG wasn't a consideration in my purchase.  Styling, performance, and features catch my eye. Bad MPG just comes with the package. Vince.

Replying to: oldarmy (Nov 02, 2007 9:56 am)  am using 87 octane fuel (regular gas) and my MPG is about 17 to 18 between highway and local roads in NYC. When I tried to use high octane 93, the mileage was lower about 14.5 MPG but I noticed the engine to be a lot smoother. Went to dealer in NYC and I told them what I noticed, they recomended to stick to 87 octane and that the mileage will improve. So far MPG in real world usage is ok, I wish it was better. I have owned my car for 6 weeks (2008 CX-7 AWD-GT) love turbo once it kicks in. However, MPG SUCKS!!! |

I purchased a 2008 GT-AWD a few weeks ago. My initial mileage numbers have been promising. My commute daily is ~75mi round trip, and it is mixed driving roughly half highway and half secondary roads. First tank was 18.4. the last two have been 20.7 and 21.4. If past experience is any guide, the mileage should slowly improve until 5k miles or so (am at 1100 now) and be pretty stable from that point on. I'm expecting to wind up with 23-25 the way things are going right now. This summer I'll take a road trip with it and see what I get for pure highway driving. |

I've been tracking my mileage religiously since I purchased my CX-7 in July 2007 and have only ever used premium. 18 MPG is average for me. One road trip resulted in 27 MPG using an average speed of 70 MPH. That's the best I've ever gotten. Not posting as a complaint, just a point of information to the group. May be a duplicate of previously posted information. I didn't read all the 338 previous posts.

Replying to: spice15 (Mar 08, 2008 1:51 pm) After settling down, my mileage has consistently being about 19 mpg for the 2,000 miles, rarely fluctuating more than 1 mpg. Looking back, I think the biggest factor I've experienced in my fuel effeciency is the speed I drive. Once I start averaging about 70 mpg, the effeciency would start dropping pretty quickly. In my opinion, going 80+ mph on the highway has appeared to hurt my fuel effeciency more than city driving. |

Things are improving, the last all in town driving was 19.57mpg. This is above the 14-16mpg in the past. Have about 8,000 miles . Purchased the CX-7 Oct. 07 Hwy driving has been 22-25mpg.
