Default RE: Gas Mileage


i normally see the "low gas" gauge at around 380 miles on the tank... then there are about 1.8 gallons left in my gas tank to make it another 40 miles or so. that's with a 2005 mazda6 with the 3.0L

I usally get about 400 miles out of a tank...and that's usually just city driving too! (i only live 10 minutes from where I work). I couldn't be happier with my gas mileage!

You must have the right setup. If your getting poor mileage, check tire pressure, type of oil used, may need oil change, A/C on?, and finally make sure your car is tuned up!

What pressure are all 4 tires supposed to be on? It states to put it on 32psi but i think that's to low for such a heavy car. I keep mine at 36psi. The a/c is an obvious 1, i use it only when the heat is not tolerable.

I'm not sure what I'm getting but it's a lot better since the divorce! My then husband complained to the dealer about the gas mileage all the time in the first few months after I bought the car. Once he stopped driving it, the gas mileage really improved. Your driving habits have a lot to do with how much you spend on gas.

Hey Veronique,

I thought you were going to say your mileage was better since you got rid of all that dead weight! LOL!

I was almost going to say that, too. But actually I got rid of a lead foot!

well the manufacturer says 32, but that is the ideal setting for handling and ride comfort! You could go to 36, but I wouldnt go any higher!

Well, that will save you in speeding tickets, not to mention other advantages.... ;-)

Just returned from a road trip averaging about 68 mph. Got 27-30 mpg with my 6i '05.
