There are now 4 Mazda3 Skyactivs on Fuelly reporting 6.4litres/100, 1 reporting 6.1 litres/100 and 1 reporting 5.6 litres/100! The 5.6 is a manual hatchback.
when you change size of rim, shouldn't you account for the tire profile so the overall end result of the rolling diameter is same as stock so as not to screw up the odometer and speedo?
i just filled up on Monday. I've only been driving to/from work. i've tried to take country back roads with very few stops and the 401. i've so far averaging very good. i hope thsi will last the entire tank. its hard driving like a granny though....

Meh, I'm quite n00bish so I didn't really think about that....I just saw that the Mazda 3 GT's all have 17" wheels, so I thought that it would be possible to get 17" wheels as well?
Initially I tried to shift at 2000 rpm's (when breaking in the car) but then I couldn't stand it anymore >.<
I filled up on Monday morning. I have been taking it very easy, driving slowly, avoiding lights/stop signs (not running them). Just taking roads with as few as possible. Taking the hwy as much as possible, but driving on slow lane. I've been averaging based on on board computer 7.4L/100kms. I've already driven over 200kms on this tank and the range is still 530kms left. So if i can manage to continue driving this way. I will get over 700kms on this tank in a CUV.....proof that skyactive does work.....lol
i find driving between 80-100kms yields best results. very low rpm and little gas used, yet still can maintain a decent pace of progress.

I emailed the Fuelly member getting 5.6 litres /100 (42 mpg US, 50 mpg Canadian). Here's what he wrote back:
------------------------
I commute about 130miles (200km) a day mostly on freeways. And I try to be light on my right foot. When traffic is really light, I might drive at 60mph (100k). Otherwise I have't done much differently since the previous pickup truck I had. It seems you drive AT and I drive MT, so it's very possible for you to get even better mileage on driving like I do.
------------------------
Unfortunately, I don't.
I'm averaging about 7.6/100km on Fuelly, although I imagine I could get better by driving more conservatively, haha. But where's the fun in that?
based on the computer i just logged 7.3L/100km on my last tank. i did 640ish kms on the tank. and its a cx-5, not mazda3.
Just filled up tonight and got 884 km from 61.65 L. Translates to 6.97 L / 100 km. My Fuelly score says above 7 but that's from the winter scores. Each time I fill up my av is coming down. Motor is getting broken in too. So far I have just over 8700 km on her. Love this car

Yes and that's what I thought as well...That is until I ran the tank RIGHT THE F*&CK down to nuthin for my mar 16 fillup....lolz I even brought some gas in a gas can with me just in case...And when I went finally had to stop at a gas station fill r up, I put in 64.09 farkin liters! ! ! I musta been runnin on "beerfart" fumes then man. I believe the manufacturer lists tank capacity as 55L accounting for a bit of overhead at the top of the tank, and the "reserve" that's at the bottom when your last "fuel bar" dissappears.
If you click on my fuelly stats ( the av says 7.7L/100 km when the true # is 6.97 ! ! ! ), you'll see my stats are improving hence the warmer weather PLUS I now have my summers on (lighter and narrower than my winters) so my stats are pretty dang good.

Don't understand, Zoomahh. Is it 64.09 or 61.65 litres? One post says the one and the other the other.
