I was wondering what sort of fuel economy other owners were getting from their CX-9's? Do other owners find their cars thirsty?

To answer your question, I'm getting between 14mpg in heavy city traffic and 21mpg at 75mph on the interstate, with an average of about 18mpg in mixed driving. This is pretty much what I expected.

 

I havent checked lately but when she was new, I got 16-18mpg the first few tanks. Now that she is broken in, I will have to check again.

 

I just got my cx-9 a week ago. Got a full tank of about 18gal. I live in new york city drive none stop. I did ONLY 150miles and the empty light went on. Went to pa this weekend did about 320 miles on the tank 75mph average speed. Drinks like it's on a hangover.

 

It's not going to have the best gas mileage because it's a 3.7L V6 meant to get you moving. It's the closest thing to a genuine SUV that Mazda has (not counting the Tribute/Escape).
