Fuel Economy

[CarLadyLisa]

I'm curious to know the approximate mileage we all get on a tank. Not just l/100kms I ususally track mine with my trip meter when I fill up.

Example:
2012 Mazda3Sport GS-Sky 2.0L Manual = 600 day to day | 750 long trips (old car) 55L Tank
2010 Mazda3 GX 2.0L Auto = 400 day to day | No trips yet (current beater) 55L Tank
1993 Miata 1.6L Manual = 300 day to day | 350 long trips (summer) uh...35L tank?

I really miss my Skyactiv engine. This car seems so pooptacular on gas in comparison. Is there some secret way to improve the fuel consumption?

with my 04 2.3, half and half city/hwy, i do about 550 before the light goes on. when the light comes on i usually have about 10L left. If it was all highway, 600-650km easy
with my 11 2.0 (non-skyactiv), half and half city/hwy, i do about 600 before the light goes on. i think also 10-15L left. if it was all highway, 650-700

2010 Speed3 - ~500 day to day | ~680 long trips (daily driver) 55L tank
1992 FD3S - ~250 day to day | ~400 long trips (once in a while car) 76L tank
(yes, the FD is the absolute worst on gas)

All highway driving - 700+ kms (2014 Mazda3 GS, 6-speed manual - 50L tank).
Day to day, mixed - 500 - 550 kms
Strictly city, short trips - 450

[ken6214]

I always try and get as many km's out of that first tick on the gauge, so far my best 124km. 2011 mazda3 2.5L 6-speed manual.

[jay93]

2006. 2.slow when the light turns on I'm at about 430km......should be more

[Milan96]

2010 GS 2.5L Automatic, in the city for school for about 90% of my driving is city. Usually get about 400-430km per tank if I really run it dry... Fuel economy honestly is a real let down with the 2.5L, especially in the city. On pure highway, the best I got out of a tank was about 550km

[FD22]

......should be more

I feel you. I feel like mine gets horrible mileage. 100% highway is decent. But any sort of (conservative) city driving, and I get worse mileage than most Speeds

[mazdasport]

Don't feel bad my truck has a 135 L tank and I'm lucky if I get more then 550 all highway and its a 2015

[Hotsky]

Im still getting decent mileage, last two tanks I was ~350km at half hank mark.

Wow. That's a real gas guzzler. Is it a V6 or V8?

[mazdasport]

6.2 gas V8 with one size over OEM tire and weights in at just shy of 10000 pound with all my service equipment, takes a whole tank of fuel to drive from Belleville to Brampton and back at 120 kph

Will you go for the 3.5 ecoboost next to save on fuel?

[mazdasport]

It's a fleet truck so really I don't care but with the amount of weight I carry the ecoboost would be almost as bad as it would always be in boost just to keep me rolling lol I got a call the other day apparently we are downsizing to f150s when we reorder our trucks lol

Protip, dropping to 100 will save you a shitton on gas.

Ya don't see that happening as I said fleet truck so time is money, just went to Sudbury and back averaged 22L per 100 not to bad

[Hyperion]

True.

[Kiewan]

2008 2.0L, 55L tank? - From fillup to gas light, 450ish km all city driving. Longer highway trips -500ish km/tank.

thank god for cylinder shut off. My Sierra has the 5.3 Ecotec and i'll do about 10-12L/100km when i cruise to toronto from detroit. at a 98L tank, i get pretty far.

Wow, 10-12 is pretty good! My in law has a 2012 f150 Eco boost, 120L tank. He averages from 12-15L per 100

[ryan2.3]

my dad has a 2015 F150, the NA V6. i think he's doing about the same as your in-laws. the switching between V8 and V4 for me is a little sensitive, so it took some time to figure out the best strategy for keeping in V4 for as long as i could. Be nice if there was a switch just to force it to stay in V4. I'm never towing, and rarely loading it up with stuff (the occasional lumber run or furniture pickup), so it'd be handy if it could just stay in 4 cylinder.

[soccerboy1491]

2005 2.3L 55L tank average 450 day to day & best I ever got was 601km

[iAaronx]

I find that for my 2010 2.0 with 194000kms on it, i still feel that 420kms per tank at the most is offly low considering i drive from mississauga to vaughan mills area mo -fri at 4 in the morning.

[Raxor]

2010 2.5L between 380-400kms a tank

[Canadianbacon]

2010 2.5L between 380-400kms a tank

Same! I might try uploading a different tune map to vvti I'm using a ignition timing one currently, i always drive pretty hard no granny shifts. In summer I get 400-440km
