400km to a single tank! That's freaking ridiculous. I haven't changed my commute or driving habits, or anything that could account for this. My commute is a mix mostly highway though. The only thing that I've done that could've done it is a seafoam treatment. Sweet!

359 yes but there's still an 1/8th tank left. 400 easy. I'm impressed because its usually 350 to a tank everytime without fail.

Bo0 Km

On a side note, winterized fuel is on its way out so everyone should be seeing an increase in MPG.

lol if that was miles, he would be getting phone calls from mazdas R&D, and probably interigated on how he managed to get that, probably whipped a few times with some driving belts and so on so he would talk.

I have gotten that much (usually before the light comes on that means I have 3 gallons left) on almost every tank.
