#2 of 140 Re: Mazda CX-9 Real World MPG. [lukesdaddy] by brickfrenzy May 21, 2007 (6:40 am)
Replying to: lukesdaddy (May 20, 2007 12:48 pm) I have just under 1000 miles on my GT AWD, and my commute, which is all city and never over 45 MPH, is coming in at about 14.5 MPG, and my sole long trip, which was about 280 miles, about 2/3 of which was highway driving, was just under 20 MPG.   I'm going to be taking a couple of long highway hauls for Memorial Day this weekend. I'll be interested in seeing if I can get better than 20. Replies to this message: 99zoomr (May 21, 2007 9:52 am) brickfrenzy (May 25, 2007 5:44 am)

My commutes are about 50% highway and 50% in-town driving without a lot of hills (Central Illinois). So far I've been averaging right around 19 - 20 mpg.

Replying to: 99zoomr (May 21, 2007 9:52 am) Most recent tank, all city - 15.02 MPG. So I'm right where the revised EPA ratings are.

Replying to: lukesdaddy (May 20, 2007 12:48 pm) I've had my CX-9 GT FWD for about 2.5 months and my commute is about 50% hwy and 50% city and I average almost 19mpg. And I get into the gas hard occasionally too. I don't always drive as fuel economy minded as I probably should with the price of gas these days.   It replaced a Durango that was getting about 14mpg, so I'm pretty happy. I could probably get better mileage if I would not stomp the pedal so hard some times.
#7 of 140 CX-9 in manual, mpg by cude Jun 07, 2007 (8:26 pm)
First tank, about 60/40 hwy/city got 19.7 mpg. GT trim, towing package if it matters. Second tank about 90/10 hwy/city as it was our first long trip. We got 24 mpg out of it. I kept in manual, 6th gear as much as possible to prevent it from kicking into 5th and sometimes i noticed it tries to go into 4th up some hills. I'm going to try this out again on my next trip to see if i can repeat the result. I'm curious if anyone else has seen this kind of mpg?

Replying to: imamg (Jun 08, 2007 9:04 am) 2wd, i couldn't believe it myself. just filled up my 4th tank after all city driving and only got 15mpg out of it. seems like too big a difference in the city and hwy but i'll keep tracking to see. it did seem like we had to "gun" it a little more than i would like here lately. maybe my next tank will be better.
#10 of 140 Hybrid suvs by x5killer Jun 11, 2007 (9:53 pm)
I'm interested possibly in a Mazda CX-9 to replace my 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca. Its between the 2008 CX-9 and the 2008 MDX.   Being that mpg of neither of these seems to have better mpg then the Tribeca and in fact slightly worse, i'm thinking I whould wait and see what other hybrids get produced.   as many suvs as there now is, its amazing how there aren't a lot of perfect or great choices and very very limited choices as far as hybrid or better mpg from a diff method.   When are we going to see more hybrids and/or bio fuel/bio diesel?

#11 of 140 First Gas report!! by todos Jul 13, 2007 (1:50 pm)
Replying to: x5killer (Jun 11, 2007 9:53 pm) Hi All, I had a an interesting gas experience today. I bought my CX9 FWD, Copper Red towing with nav, last week and decided to determine how much my first tank of gas was. I filled up last saturday and do about 50/50 highway/city.   This morning the E light came on and so i drove about 3 miles on E to the office. I left the office this evening heading home and decided to see how far this CX9 runs on E. So I drive about 10 miles from work to the nearest gas station home. When I arrived at the gas station (thanking God that the vehicle didn't run out of gas) I calculated my MPG and proceeded to fill up. Based on my calculations (329 miles/20.1 gallons) my first tank of gas registered 16.1 gallons per mile. I was somewhat disappointed but knew this going into the purchase.   Here is what threw me off . The gas station attendant filled my tank which was orignally on E and the pump recorded 17.847 gallons to fill up. Now this means to me that with an additional 2.25 gallons of gas left over in the tank prior to filling up, I should have been able to travel an additional 36 to 60miles (FWD rated 18/24) or even a little bit more which would truly bring my MPG total to any where between 19-22 MPG on my first tank. This also means that I should expect some good mileage on a long highway trip.   Now this to me solidifies the comment made by folks herein that a trip computer is relevant, because I could have done a Cosmo Kramer and squeezed out a lot more MPG has I been mroe aware of the reserve in the tank.   anyway, I love my car!!!
