Default Fuel mileage

What fuel mileage are others getting?

So far, my 2016 Mazda3 2.5 seems to be getting 34-35 mpg on the interstate @ 70-73 mph.

Then about 36-37 mpg overall average around here where the maximum speed limit is around 45 mph. There aren't many lights. We mostly run 35-45 mph over 5-6 mph, then a light or two, etc.

Always got the EPA hwy value or 1-2 mpg above it. For 2016, it's 37, but it's only 35 for 2017. Seems to fit.

If the speed is up like 60-70 then fuel will still remain same?

Guess no one cares what mileage their Mazda gets.

I'm finding the trip miles on the tank plus miles left on the tank by the computer, that sum, is the best indicator of what mileage the car is getting. 40 mpg is about 460 miles on the tank, with about 1 gallon in reserve that doesn't seem to be counted by the computer.

The actual computer mileage average shown is usually wrong, usually low.

Really something. I entered the last about half dozen tank fillups and figured the overall average: 36.8.

Right now, it's showing 445 miles available on this tank.
