Replying to: wwxman (Jul 22, 2006 12:54 am) My question, not being a gear head, is whether this has anything to do with my gas mileage. I love the car but the mileage (I have the AWD) kinda sucks. Any help is appreciated.

It does so by pulling the IMRC cable to let more air in. If it's not functioning then your CX-7 engine may be running lean so your mileage may be affected. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: tidester (Apr 06, 2007 8:53 pm) My father-in-law's CX-7 has only had 2 CEL's to date. (Purchased on 9/9/06, 12,000 miles currently). He lives here in CT (cold winters). One was the gas cap, the other was the IMRC. Before the IMRC was replaced, he was getting 17-18mpg highway. Now, he gets 22-23mpg highway. If you have a heavy foot, and use all those ponies going 70mph or more, expect lower then 23mpg highway.

Replying to: johnny__rf (Apr 09, 2007 6:15 pm) No. They will not. It is not an official recall, it is only in certain CX-7's. Plus, Mazda has no way of knowing your driving habits. Keep in mind, the engine is tested at 60mph. If you drive over 60mph, you will not get the EPA estimate of 24. My father-in-law filled up, drove on the highway for a great distance with the cruise control set at 60. Went to another gas station, and filled up. Did the math, came out to 23mpg.
