Congratulations! It looks like you can top 40+ MPG with your Mazda 3 : Papa's Evil Dream https://www.gassavers.org/garage/view/720 This dude is a monster Hypermiler, but you've got the "potential in the drivetrain", so to speak. CarloSW2 |
Thats what Im shooting for. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction carlos. SGII goes on today and the quest for high mileage resumes.

K, I'm a biased Mazda owner, I know, but what I explained above is truth. My fav two Jap makes are Toyota and Subaru, can't go wrong with either one of those. The 5 was just a perfect fit for my needs so I went Mazda. |

do you have any more details of how 2nd gear went out? bad synchros? plenty of mis-shifts? fault from the factory? poor design? bent frames are from accidents and i have never heard of windshields falling out. also subaru is definitely more reliable than mazda, but they guzzle gas like faster than you can pour it on the street from a milk jug. i dont mean to throw around brand names even more, but mazda attached at the hip with ford. |

Good choice on the Mazda! I rented a Mazda 5 last weekend and it's honestly brilliant. It's essentially the tall, stretched 3. It handled great, hauled all kinds of cargo and 4 adults. The best part: 27 mpg max avg out of 1100 miles. (24 mpg fully loaded down).
The idea of a 4-cylinder MPV is refreshing. Handling was amazing (same for the 3 and 6 as well). Enjoy the new ride -- and congrats on downsizing! You're a role model for us all. RH77 |
