Originally posted by digitalpro5 Hey so...is it me or in San Diego, the highest octane is 91, never seen any where higher around here. People talk about 93 octane I'm like damn I wish I was there. We've got plenty of 93 octane here in Ohio if you feel you need it (hella road trip!!) :rofl: Jim PS - I get ~23mpg mixed city/highway back and forth to work. Car just turned over 2500 miles. FYI |
You guys are luckey, gas up here is around 77 cents a liter the premium runs about 89 to 91 cents a liter, and being a small town there is only the Esso (Exxon) bulk plant that supplies the towns four stations. I go out to the reserve with my buddy cause he has a gas card and get it for around 58 cents. I look forward to getting out of town cause then I treat her to Shell gas.

Well I bought my 2002 P5 for my kid more for the handling aspect than mileage. I figure the milage is OK, I recognize Mazda geared the P5 towards performance and less towards mileage.
My kid doesn't care about mileage, I put one of those Exxon/Mobil speed gas wands on his key chain .:o |
i just got 430 km out of 39.5 litres.
that's all city with moderate to heavy lead-footing on starts. and a bunch of engine braking. |
Don't forget that our cars are geared fairly low (for the 5 speeds), so you will gain decent acceleration at the expense of gas mileage. I too do mostly city driving, but I can't complain about the mileage as I had a 4 wheel drive Ford Explorer Sport with the 4L SOHC motor with 4.10 final drive before I got the P5. I got around 14 mpg in mostly city driving. After getting the P5, I have essentially doubled my mpg, to around 26 or 27 mpg in town (all figures in Imperial gallons, for our American friends). In city driving, I usually average around 400 - 450 km before my low fuel warning light comes on, and I drive fairly aggressively in town. On the highway, I can usually pull about 600 - 650 km out of a tank of gas.
