    It can be found in 2 places.
    1. in the dash by scrolling through your info tab.
    2. in the applications folder the is a fuel monitor app that can go more in depth.

    You can always do it the old fashioned way.. Reset odometer on full tank and note the litres and odometer reading next time you pump full

    how do you drive like a "ricer" turn the neon lights on and pull out the fart can exhaust? or do you mean like an idiot cutting in and out of lanes and cutting people off.. yea no one needs people that drive like that so hope its not you. but if so glad your ricer driving is in peterborough

    For the winter time I had 17" OEM alloy rims with Michelin X-Ice 2s, and now I have switched to 18" OEM MazdaSpeed3 alloys, and planning to burn out the stock Dunlop Sport 2050s before I get new tires. I've noticed the my fuel economy has gone from usually around 10L/100km during the winter time 40% highway 60% city (i have a 2013 2.5 GT hatch) to about 11.5L/100km (this is all city driving so far because I've only tested for one day so far). The gas mileage is unusually high - given that it no longer has winter tires on I was thinking gas mileage might go down... I get that my rims are now bigger and a bit heavier, but is it normal to make that much of a difference?

    1.5L / 100 km is not that much of a difference especially city driving.
    For example: tires and rims aside -my fuel consumption is worse when I drive with my fav driving sneakers listening to high energy music - about 3L / 100km

    But there might (hopefully) be a few minor leaks which is making the car work harder to maintain my driving style

    I guess I just assumed it would be better because winter tires have come off and they're usually worse on mileage. I guess these tires are a bit stickier and rims bigger and heavier. It's actually gone down to 10.5 now after a bit of highway driving. Haha I guess I just hoped it would go down. Oh well! Thanks guys

    sadly mine isnt really going up. mind you still have the winters on. i think my last tank i got about 350km from it.. but it did last me over 2 weeks before i filled it up. so that beats the every 4 days from before. will be interesting to see how the short drive to work gets to the car. if at all

    My 2012 MS3 L/100km's keeps going down I was at 11.8 this winter and now I'm at 9.8 with my summer set-up just going on yesterday. That is about 50/50 City/Highway.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that it is with "some" aggressive driving and I cruise around 120 on the highway when traffic permits.
