In three years I've gone from averaging just over 15.5 to just over 17.5. I should hit 20 in another 4 years or so! :-) Jokes aside, it's kinda amusing how the graph just keeps climbing.

1) 87 Octane all the time, tried 93 and saw no difference. 2) 18" All Season Avons 3) Mostly Urban 95% City Driving (stop lights every 3 to 6 blocks) 4) Moderately aggressive driving, red lined at least twice a day. 5) 75% of shifts between 3 and 6K MPG: 12.5 :icon_tdow |
On the last 8 hour long trip, I averaged 21 on the highway using 89 and driving 70
This time of year, the average around town is about 15.5 or less. |
Honestly, I don't know what I get -- it would just make me sad.
With a lot of these cars coming off of warranty (like mine in 1000 miles), has anyone ventured to improve the fuel mapping for better MPG? My understanding is that these engines are running rich in order to keep Mazda from having to replace cats. |
So, what's your driving style/habit? When and where do you shift at? What about gas pedal/throttle position? I would very much like to know. :)

I know if I used anything under 90 or 91 octane in my 300zx it ran like crap and ping'd like hell.... |
I dont understand why there is always complaints over mileage. The the most fun I EVER had in my car was 25 miles and burned through a half a tank. You do the math.
|
Holding steady at 16-17mpg with my reman engine @ just short of 2k miles. I got about the same mpg on a local group drive staying in 2nd and 3rd gear as I get daily driving. :lol: :uhh:

50-50 driving and I avg. about 13.8 mpg. $55 every 200 miles really sucks, but I still love my 8. :)

i get about 15.8 and i drive this thing hard. usually about 200-225. 91 octane.
Latley with the cold weather i dont no i been getting like 180 to a tank u do the math wtf lol |
You can never have enough data for comparison...
1- 93 octane always 2- OEM 8090s for 8 months, Winter Sport M3s for 4 months 3- Drive it like I'm stealing it 90% of the time 4- No cruise control 5- Aggressively driven & maintained Conclusion: 17-18 mpg But seriously, you don't drive the 8 to reduce your carbon footprint! :ylsuper: |
