Hey guys,

Just picked up a 2016.5 (or so I think) CX-5. It is a GS trim and has an 05/15 date stamp on the door, sunroof, Navigation (no GPS chip) and touch screen display and all my research says it's a 2016.5. The carfax and VIN only show 2016 for this year and I believe they will not actually list 2016.5.

At any rate I'm stoked on this car but I'm looking for some basic tips to help with the gas consumption and some other tricks and tips I might be able to find here. I know the 2.5L AWD models are a bit thirsty but I feel like since I've owned it it's really chugging gas more than the advertised MPG. I'm a super light footed driver and I'm getting like 12-13L/100km or 19MPG for mainly city driving. The air filter is mint and this thing has had regular maintenance done it's whole life and done recently before I bought it. I know it's not a vehicle you're going to save tons of money on gas with but just trying to get a good start with my new baby.

Cheers!

 

Welcome to the forum

 

19mpg is a bit low , if that is your average city and highway. If only city then about right.
what is your highway mpg say on a 50-100 mile straight driving no stopping, and at least average 50 mph ?
