Is mazda 3 fuel effective? I have a 2007 model and its giving me 7 kms per liter. I maintain a permissible air pressure of 35 at any given point of time. How do u think I can improve it. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Ouch, my Protege gives at least 10km/L in city, and much more on highway.

Maybe you have to stop hammering the gas, haha.

you drive like a goat running from another *** raping.....anyways can someone convert to american....idk my mpg but i know i get around 400 mi to a tank and i drive her hard..many 100+ highway sprints to town and 80-85 on average...3000 rpm takeoffs and 5,000-6,000 rpm shifts on average

I can convert it to the stupid american measurement system, all I need is how many KM you go and how many litres you have to fill up after going that number of miles.

jzoomer

so if my average tank is 400 mi. and the tank is 13 gal that makes my average mpg: 30.769230769230769230769230769231 lol better than the 15mpg i was gettin in the focus

I don't know about liters/km, but in MPGs I would say I get about 28 mpgs around town (i.e. short distance, lots of stop-n-go type stuff), and around 38 highway mpgs (we're talking nothin' but highway for the duration of the tank). It usually averages out between 29 and 32 MPGs depending on my week.

Compared to the mileage I got on my '02 Dodge Stratus, I'm in heaven with my new '07 Mazda3.

4L = 1 gallon approx
6miles = 10 km appox

so 7km/l = 28km/gallon = 16.8 mpg

prashu007

Oops..then i guess mine is a concern i get only 16.8 mpg / 7 kml (i better be generic )..anyone with mazda 3, wats ur kml?? guess i need to take it to the garage

J-Protege

I'd say... jzoomer gets about 30 mpg, yours is almost half. Try running a bottle of fuel injector cleaner through a full tank first. Might help if it's just carboned up in there.

You dont have any check engine lights on do you?

prashu007

Nope, its a new car and there are NO engine check lights on. Will chk with the fuel injector cleaner test. Iam also seriously thinking to conslt my auto garage...

Can u pls tell me the correct air preassure for front nd rear tires..the manual sucks..its not there...

Thanks for the help buddy....

J-Protege

32 psi for all 4 tires. I do 33 though, feels better imo. If it's brand new, maybe have the dealership have a look. Make sure no faulty plugs or misinstalled parts.

dentinger

ive been getting 400+ kms lto the tank ately... and thats after my intake and exhaust have been installed!
(before the install, i was getting ~320kms)

prashu007

Oh okay....i will hv the dealership chk my car..anyway tnx fr info guyz

I'm getting 26.5 to 30mpg mixed hwy & city. I think it's OK

I get around 30mpg with my 05 5 door, 5 speed combined driving, and 36mpg (12.7442228 km/liter) with straight highway driving at 65 mph.
