Compression Test Results

I had this done a while back but forgot to post it up. It was done to try and figure out if my engine was the issue related to gas mpg. The assumption after this was that my regular commute to work is the issue. The posted speed limit doesn't break 45 and it is basically all city driving. The test was done at my local Mazda dealership

You need to do a regular "Italian tuneup" on this car...take it out on the highway and thrash it to keep it happy

Nice even pulses. Numbers are not great. But they certainly are not bad.

Good to see that mazda says ~98psi is the minimum instead of the ~80 psi from the previous rotaries.
