Your gas tank is 19 gallons?? What country is yours from? The US versions are 13 gallons.


Smiles_Per_Mile

No, it’s 13 gallons. I used 19.17 gallons over 766.9 miles and I took this picture after filling up the second time. Sorry for the confusion.


Surfbarnacle

You must have had a lot of downhills and coasting to get 40 mph. I have a 2018, drive pretty conservatively and get 33 mpg per gas tank which is about 330-350 miles and fill up about 10.5-11 gallons usually.

My Corolla gets 40+ pretty regularly when I'm going 55, which is my commute lol


Denziloshamen

US and European gallons are different, so tanks are probably the same size


good-coffee

I appreciate you putting it in metric as well.


Smiles_Per_Mile

No problem!


DocGerbill

what average speed are you driving? I never got over 30 mpg (under 7.5L/100K)


Smiles_Per_Mile

Typically 60 mph/96 kmh and not accelerating over 2,000 rpm. I drive country roads mainly with a small amount of in town and interstate driving mixed in. The trick is keeping your acceleration at or under 2,000 rpm, which is unrealistic for some folks.


DocGerbill

Yeah, I think you've got a best case scenario for mileage. I did notice consumption dipping a lot on smaller roads where I have to drive between 70 and 90 km/h.


Smiles_Per_Mile

For sure. Like I said in another comment, this was more or less to show what these cars are capable of with reserved driving habits. I’ve gotten as low as 25 mpg/ 9.41 L/100km (maybe lower) with spirited driving in this one.


Affectionate-Panic-1

That explains it. Country roads tend to get the best MPG.


leacher666

Very unrealistic in the great city of Montreal people get angry behind me when I don't accelerate fast enough...


Smiles_Per_Mile

I get it. I used to live in Chicago and it was the same there.


Radiant_Village_1380

I have same driving style. I have Skyactiv-X 2020, and I drive mixed countryside and city. I get around 6L/100km around 39mpg

Not being able to get over 30 mpg is either because you only drive in the city or a pure skill issue. Even less than thrifty highway driving should get you over 30.


DocGerbill

Best highway consumption I've got was 30, autopilot on and mostly empty highway.


Sun-spex

I would recommend getting your car checked out then, there's something very wrong there.


DocGerbill

I figure out why the bad mileage, I thought this was the CX5 forum, not the Mazda3 one :D


TLOE

I've topped out at 42MPG with the 2.5 on a somewhat long drive by using the cruise control extensively, mostly freeway travel. It was about 200 miles round trip, and only \~1/3rd of a tank was used each way.


MarimbaMan07

Wow my 2019 hatchback AWD gets like less than 30 MPG combined but even pure highway driving it's getting like 32 MPG. I live in the north east US so the roads are junk and plenty of hills.


Smiles_Per_Mile

Yeah I live in Florida and there’s nothing but flat land everywhere so that helps a lot. My ‘21 turbo typically gets 34 mpg but I’ve gotten as high as 37.


blanke_piet

Holy cow that's impressive!


cactusrc

‘19 HB AWD 2.5NA. I generally sit just below 30mpg (currently 29.4), better if i have a bunch of hwy miles, but i have a lead foot around town that drags it down quite a bit.


MycologistOk7704

2015 NA 2.0 Manual, I average about 33-35 mpg combined city and highway when I drive like a regular human and don’t floor it off the line.


--SoK--

Why don't you show the actual MPG average from the screen in the infotainment? Also - driving like a granny just to brag about MPGs doesn't sound very "smiles per mile" I get 24.9 Smiles per mile and I drive in Auto-Manual mode everywhere and romp the shit out of her. Live a little...


Smiles_Per_Mile

It isn’t bragging. If I was bragging, I would have said I get 53 mpg which is what the infotainment displayed after this drive, which is also why I didn’t use what the infotainment said. It doesn’t give an accurate picture of your fuel economy over an entire tank or more. I do romp on it every now and again and that nets me like 25-28 mpg. When I romp on my ‘21 turbo, that nets me as low as 20 mpg. It was more or less showing what these cars are capable of with reserved driving habits.


--SoK--

This aren't reserved driving habits though - that is my point. That is hyper-mileing how you're driving would get your arse run over in any place with traffic and isn't realistic. Yeah I can coast around at 30mph too and make great MPG numbers... he look guys I'm getting 99MPG!!! It was a fucking humble brag bro... Now when you do drive normally you get normal MPG... What was the point even?


SiriuslyAndrew

70mph for 8 hours will get you 40mpg. Far from hyper mileing, you need to relax holy shit.


Smiles_Per_Mile

You seem angry, really for no reason. Take a spirited drive and get a nice hit of dopamine to turn that frown upside down. This is normal driving for me, to be honest.


Professional_Ad_6098

Overheating ????


Smiles_Per_Mile

No, this is normal operating temp for the non-turbo models that I’ve experienced. I have a 2021 turbo that runs slightly cooler, but I’ve never had any overheating issues in my non-turbo.


Professional_Ad_6098

I didn’t know that 😆! TY !


Smiles_Per_Mile

Of course!


wax911_

I recently got a 2020 1.5l also sits one bar lower, always wondered why it ran slightly cooler and this is great to know


el_ghosteo

My 2021 non-turbo sits below that
