Hi,

Is anybody aware whent the first 2008 CX-7s are available in States? I asked my local dealer, but he did not know answer to this question... I am looking forward to buy CX-7, but still thinking, if I should wait a month or two. According to dealer no changes except no premium fuel required anymore, have you heard of any other changes?

BR, WilliE

I don't understand why everyone freaks out over $.2 more a gallon over regular, not even mid-grade. If you fill up 10 gals, it's only $2. Do that once a week and you're at $104. Don't buy a Starbucks once a week and you have the premium fuel paid for. Heck, every morning I spend at least $2 on soda for the day AND put premium in both vehicles that recommend or require it. Even if Mazda stopped "requiring" and only "recommended" I still would not do that to my vehicle. It's just simply not worth the reduction in performance, gas mileage and potential hazzard.

So if 2008 model doesn't require premium gas, did they change the engine design (not likely) or just the computer? If they changed the computer program, then couldn't they apply that to a 2007 model as they would be the same engine?

I know that in my Laser AWD I have to run premium to keep the knock counts down. The one thing that will KILL a turbocharged engine in a quick hurry is KNOCK and that is caused by poor fuel or lack of it. It is worth it in the long run to run the premium fuel.
