Mazda CX-5 Mileage | Fuelly

 

I'm constantly in the 29 to 31 mpg range, put on about 50 miles a day with combined city/highway driving. Very pleased with mileage. Took it on vacation on a 180 mile trip and averaged 38 mpg.

 

2013 model, 4wd grand touring, picked up the car in 2012, has about 35k miles, avg about 26.x mpg. I do have a tow hitch installed. I guess the mpg is about right...

 

I average about 23.5 when I drive to work and back home five days a week. That is on a varied mix of 55 mph speeds and traffic lights.

In comparison to a Honda Accord I used to own... the Accord averaged between 21 and 29 mpg depending on how I drove, and it had a V6.

 

I've had my 2015 CX5 GT since march. Consistently getting between 27-30 mpg combined city/highway. Was higher during the summer, but now that it has cooled down, the MPG has gone down. Highway driving is at 65-75 mph.

Just remember to reset the av MPG calculator - simple to do by pressing the center of the info button (the "info" has to be on the av MPG display for it to clear). You can also sync the av. MPG to the trip odometer, so if you reset the trip odometer after you fill up, it will also reset the av MPG. This is done in the "applications" section of the home screen.

 

2nd tank of fuel....all city stop and go.....computer says 25.3....my very precise calculation 25.8....moderate driving style....only floor it when necessary....lol.

 

I had my oil change at 6k miles and now averaging about 23.5 mixed driving with an AWD Grand Touring. That seems to be where everything is settling in and that's ok. ( of course gas at $1.75 a gallon makes it all good). I was hoping for a bit more based on the "EPA estimates" as none of my driving is stop and go city but after renting a brand new Subaru Forester for a week the mileage was the same in mixed driving.. maybe a hair more on the Subaru. Its a nice rig that Forester but does not have near the fun factor as the CX-5 and the styling is well... you know. Also that CVT transmission would drive me nuts after awhile. Acceleration was pretty good but no shift points is just weird to me. I guess I better get over it if we all go electric..

All and all happy with the CX-5. It's solid. Looks great, handles great and other than a bit too much cabin noise on acceleration the car is great. I look forward to putting about 200k miles on it with little or no issues. That's the main reason I bought it

 

Interesting..

After I just posted the response to this thread that I started I saw a link to the Government Fuel economy site. Nowhere that I could see does it say at what speed the "highway mileage" was measured. It just says that combined is 55% city and 45% highway. OK.. Where? Minneapolis in the winter? Utah in the summer? Average from all areas and temps?

Ok so define 'highway"??. Are they measuring at 55mph? 65?.... 70? . Well we know the answer here. It's 55.. Because at that "crawl along" speed .. that is the only way my 2016 GT AWD is going to come close to 30MPH. And that is with a tail wind. That's a fact.

I'll stand my my original "thread starter"... Once again ... its. B*#*$ it........

 

That is my nightmare exactly!
Dealership doesn't understand that some folks aren't stupid and can figure out mileage the old fashioned way "using math"

My 2007 Mazda6 2.3 auto got me 27 MPG average, the 2015 Cx5 2.5 auto gets me 19-21 MPG average... Something definitely wrong here and either the dealer or manufacturer needs to make it right. I otherwise love this vehicle, just ticked that the mileage is sooo far off of their claims and they treat you like a moron when you try to call them on it.
