I'm guessing that eiginh has an "S" model w/the 2.5L.
You (Tracker) have the i , 2.0L. That could be the big difference in mileage right there.

I am back at +/-28mpg w/my 2.3, but driving more conservatively than I used to. Unless I get into some serious traffic. Then I'm struggling to maintain 27mpg.

 

Correct, 2.5l. I try to drive with a easy foot but it trickles in my veins and pushes the pedal hard from time to time. I also drive in bumper to bumper traffic, M - F and sometimes on the weekends. LA is fun to live in but too many people with narrow roads and highways!

This site is pretty cool, I found others use it on different Mazda forums. Fuelly | Share and Compare Your MPG, it tracks your fuel ups and mpgs. I will start logging on my next fuel up.

virgin1, what brand of tint are you using?

 

Yeah, I was kind of remembering eiginh had the 2.5; I'm just surprised the fuel economy difference between the 2.0 and the 2.5 is so extreme. I'm thinking the SkyActiv-G cannot get here any too soon.

 

Im getting the same numbers as you with mostly city driving with a very heavy foot about 22.

 

MPG update. After going on long cruises without minimum traffic I was able to raise it to 22.3 mpg.

 

Mine tells me im getting about an average of 36 miles per gallon on the freeway. i also have to 2011 sport hatch 2.5 6 speed manual

 

That's great mileage, Kyle!! But have you ever confirmed it?
Not to burst your bubble, but those trip computers do tend to be a little generous.
I have the 2.3L 5-sp and have never done better than 32.3, and that was a 1600 mile trip.

 

Wow, 36! Good job, do you drive like a turtle? (No harm intended) That is incredible.

Which 2.5 model did you get? Please pm me the price tag.
