I wasspeaking about fullyautomatic mode, which I think is VB's only option. You (Uber) have the option to chose because of Mazdas tip-tronic manual shift mode.
Most autos will hold the gear (up to a point) depending on how much power you are calling for. Hard on the accelerater (usually)= higher rpm's between shifts. Lighter on the pedal= lower shift points. So if you're accelerating hard, butdon't want to wind her out completely, and you want the tranny to shift at a given point, lift off for a short time until the tranny shifts up.
See what mean? That's how all the autos I've ever driven worked.
I know what you are talking about, Virg, I use that "technique" on my Mazda MPV (which has a 4-speed auto and a 2.5 L Ford Duratec happy-rev engine).

That sounds a little more realisitic. (33.6mpg American)
You are wise to have chosen this path, young one. [sm=vader1.gif] [sm=smiley33.gif]

Thanks, everyone for all of the info about your MPG or L/100km!

It seems really interesting that many of you get right around the same MPG that I get!

Keep it up everyone, and let's post our trip miles per tank!

I recently achieved 320 miles for one tank, with only about 3 miles left, according to the fuel range meter!

What are you guys/gals achieving?

I just drove 682km (424 miles) on a tank.
The mileage worked out to 6.9L/100km...or roughly 34 mpg.
