Replying to: nxs138 (Aug 05, 2008 2:07 pm) Then, you need to adjust the error of fuel consumption once. The procedure is to - fill up at the pump - drive at least 1/2 tank (I did 3/5) - check fuel consumed in ScanGaugeII (say 11.4) - fill up again at the same pump (click-off/top-off), take down reading at the pump (say, 11.7) - proceed to adjust the error in ScanGauge (in this case 3%). From then on, the fuel consumption should be very accurate. OBDII monitors fuel consumption by injection counts. Therefore, a small error might be present due to other factors. It is important to pump gas at the same station and the same pump to eliminate uncontrollable factors. Let it click off 2 times to be sure. |

We took a 800 total mile trip in July. We had a car-top carrier (pushing the 100# total roof-rail capacity), 2 people + 2 big dogs (~ 480# live weight total), plus some additional cargo in the vehicle where we could fit it. 1/2 the trip was freeway, going 75 mph. Got about 21 mpg for that leg. The other half was non-freeway highway, going about 65 mph. But more passing on 2-lane roads there with often heavy acceleration (it was GREAT for passing). Got about 22-23 mph then. AC going for 99% of trip. That was better than I was expecting considering the carrier and total cargo weight. I'm getting about 17-18 mpg in the car driving solo, mixed 65%35% highway/city driving. That improved from closer to 15-16 mpg earlier in the winter/spring. I also changed the oil to synthetic at 5000 miles (right before the trip). |

Please see my CarSpace album. I took them with my lousy Moto Razr cell phone camera. My digital camera is broken. I am shopping for one.

I have got 850 km (530 miles) on the odometer of my 2009 GTX AWD. The trip computer (thanks Mazda for this improvement in the 2009 model!) shows that the average MPG is 19.8. City/highway - 40% / 60%. A/C is always on. Average number of passengers: 2. Terrain: flat. The car is still under 1000 km so I don't drive it too fast - max. 100 km/h (60 MPH). I am currently quite happy with this MPG, it's similar to what I get on the other car - a toyota camry 1998 V6 3.0L.

Sorry, I was happy when I seen the trip odometer and thought I has a special vehicle. I've been confused all this time.
