Replying to: lukesdaddy (May 20, 2007 12:48 pm) 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. |

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?

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?

Replying to: x5killer (Jun 11, 2007 9:53 pm) 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!!!

I am looking to buy within the next 2 weeks and was quoted the following: Original price - $29,630 less discount - $ 2,000 ====> $27,630. I got the salesperson to give me the options at invoice price. Moonroof/bose - $1514, Remote start - $280, Splash Guards - $100, All weather mats - $100, Alarm - $160, Roof Rack - $200. Total : $29,984. I assume I can also get the $500 mazda cash back. Has anyone gotten a better deal out there? Thks Trini5

We bought our vehicle two weeks ago and promptly went on a 1,600 mile (round trip) vacation. So far, with probably 90% highway and 10% city driving, we are averaging 22.4 mpg. The best mileage on any one fill up (all highway driving) was 26.3 mpg. The very FIRST fill up (before we left on the trip) was 16.3 mpg. We averaged 23.3 on the vacation trip. We have been VERY happy with the vehicle. We fit four people (2 adults, 2 kids) with all our beach "stuff" (2 med. suitcases, 2 smaller suit cases, beach umbrellas, cooler, chairs, etc) in the back (with 3d seat folded down) and still have visibility through the back window. The seats were VERY comfortable for an 800 mile (one way) trip (no aching back at end of journey!). Kids had plenty of room in 2nd row seat. Handling/ride was SPECTACULAR! We are VERY pleased with our purchase so far.
