im pretty happy with what im getting, especially with the way i drive
i remember on my 2003 protege5 i used to get such bad numbers, the most i ever got on that was 500km a tank lol, nothing more.
The new i-stop feature should help with the city milage - assuming it will ever come to Canada.

I have a total of 1500km so far. Only got 320 on a 3/4 tank. I will calc. my mileage now that i actually have a full tank
my 2011 gs sport 2.5L mazda 3 gave me 499km for 44L gas 87 octane. that's around 8.8L/100km 100% city driving and i think that's crap. Then again i do drive economically. on my second tank so far at 750km total on the car 1/2 tank left this is hwy driving and city.
What do you expect? You have the 2.5L and your car is brand new. If you want better fuel economy you should have acquired the 2.0L. Search the forum and you will find other complaining about poor mileage on the 2.5L as well. Get used to it.

If I'm driving like I don't care about fuel economy - which is true more often than not - then I'll have a situation where the needle sits a bit below the 2/3 mark and the odometer reads 165km.
The difference in gas cost between my 'good' driving style and my 'bad' driving style is about 3L... let's say 5L for the whole tank, which is about $5, which is less than what people pay for a friggin venti caramel tazo chai macchiato with organic soy milk no water. In other words, if I feel like driving for good fuel economy, then I'll do it to see if I can do it. If I want to drive to have fun, then I'll drive to have fun.

I am happy with my mileage, considering I was driving a poorly running ford probe gt prior to this, and that thing wasn't economical at all!
See my MPG in my sig, not too bad for about 50/50 hwy/city.
oops, so I guess the EPA average is 28mpg, so I am off by about 0.2 mpg.
i drive downtown toronto, i take the 401 everyday on stop and go traffic at 830am. and i avg 24.7 miles per gallon = 9.5 l/100km. Which isnt bad considering i have a heavy foot.
Now when i am light on the pedal and use 6th gear crusing above 60kms/h i have gotten upwards of 28mpg or 8.4l/100km.
I also have the 2010 GT 2.5l With every option from factory and a 10 inch square kicker sub. So its pretty a pretty heavy car. Its not like a 90's tin can anymore. its a lot of car.
on my 3rd actual tank, but just started with fuelly - 9.5L/100km.... TERRIBLE! all city, all rush hour, all the time
Had to post this up. I'm glad it was an error of SOME sort...My mileage was terrible! :chuckle

wow..99.99L/100kms wow..your only filling up super often!
You have the decimal place wrong. The picture shows 999.9L/100km.Quote:

I am just happy that mine went down from 10.2 to 9.4, gradually of course. Having a 2.5 liter is fun when you are driving, not as much when you are filling the tank. But hey, I chose to drive this......so I have suck it up. :P
Fuel economy threads in the winter should be closed :( I'm sometimes approaching 8l (I think I had 7.8 once) - This car is doing great so far :D
Gah... between 8 and 9.5L/100km per tank. Half city, half highway. I drive kinda hard too. 2.3 GT.
My best ever was 8.9L/100km on my 2.5L auto hatch. I usually get in the 9's. It's most probably because I drive a lot in stop and go traffic, I've only had my car for about 4 months or so, it's only been winter driving so far, and let's just say I haven't got the lightest of feet.
09 2.0L, 90% city driving, 12L/100km for the winter, 10L in the summer
If I drive 90% hwy, then its about 8L/100km
Tired pressure @ 36psi
since i bought the car a little over a week ago, ive been averaging 8.9l/100km in my 07 speed3
came from a tdi so i drive pretty efficiently
I've been getting 9.3L/100kms on my 2010 2.0L GX lately.... so dissappointing
I was getting 7.4-7.8L/100kms when i first got my car. Not sure what happened... I've only got 9600kms on it.
Winter gas sucks. :)
I think I am getting roughly 9.0-9.1l/100km
This is a mix of 50city-50hwy
2008 Manual GT Hatch
:( agreed!!Quote:

I have a 2010 GS sedan, and getting around 350km/tank. Earlier in this winter i was still getting around 400km/tank. With no change in my driving routine, the fuel economy seems to be declining. Tire pressure also at 34.5 in my all weather tires (recommended 35 as per manual).Quote:

I have the 2.0 and the last tank I had 65x km (with the light on) and filled up. 6.7L/100km :)
I keep the revs below 3k mostly.
yes, 2010 GS is 2.0 lit engine as well and still my fuel economy sucks!
i can't accept the fact 'it's still new' etc. it's been a yr and i have around 8000km on it.
and i dont rev the engine...i hardly see it going over 2.5k rpm (i dont check that part of the odometer that often but whenever i do rarely, it is around 2-2.5)
It depends on how you are driving. Since it is cold, I usually let the car warm up for 15-30 seconds before I start driving it. The car eats through gas when the engine is cold.Quote:

This past week, still approx. 75% city, 25% hwy with highway speeds of approx 90-105km and letting the car warm up past 15 seconds. I am currently doing 9.4L/100km :)
Just blame it on the cold ^^
^^ The cold does affect the fuel economy BUT driving slow after a cold start helps improve it. I putter at 45k in 3rd for the first 350m - to the red light, wait there for 40 seconds on average then putter at 55-60 for another 400 metres until I get to the highway. There it's an easy 100 (it's a 90 road), to the 401 where it's ~110 (indicated) about 2950-3050rpm. No quick acceleration, no getting pissed off at others and flooring it to pass them easy does it.
The good part of setting the cruise and putting along in the right lane is I don't have to worry about changing lanes and passing others (I'm not one to sit in the left lane doing 120 when others clearly want to do more).
this is some of the mileage numbers I've been getting with my 2010 GX 2.0L. I am averaging about 9.1L/100kms mostly city. Is this normal for my new car? The best Mileage I've been getting is about 7.3L/100kms 95% hwy driving. I've been very disappointed with these numbers. On my last car I was getting very close to manufacture advertise numbers so I'm a bit taken back why these numbers suck so much. I believe for my car it should be 8.1L/100kms city and 6.0L/100kms hwy. I'm getting nowhere close to this.
I generally keep shift and keep the revs below 3K. the first two weeks of owning this car i got 7.4 and 7.8 L/100kms (city). So i'm not sure what happened.

^^ that's a toughie, and you being a car guy (you have to be to have owned a modded prelude B22!) would already know that your tires are properly inflated, no speedy starts, easy acceleration, coast in gear until just before it bogs down to a red light.....
New car so the air filter's clean..... You got me. Any extra weight in the car? Running fogs all day?
