IllinoisArcher Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Spent all day washing and waxing my car so i swooped down by the river to take a few pics....really regretting this car after having for just 3 months...i only get 16 mpg and have to use 93 octane which today was 4.29/ gallon Oh and the pictures dont do the car justice...the color is white water pearl...and theres metallic paint which looks sharp almost blinds you when you look at it in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Looks real good man! 16mpg though?! Wow! I didn't think those rotary engines were that hard on gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 wow. it looks great, but should be getting over 30mpg. i'd dump it as soon as i could. take your losses, and get something more fuel efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sharp car, pretty surprising that you are only getting 16 though, think i would check to make sure everything is tuned up, it should be getting better than that. My wife has a bit heavier foot than I do, and she is getting about that out of our durango with some stop and go driving, and it is 4wd and has the hemi.

Nick Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Holy cow, 16mpg and having to buy 93 octane!?!? You could get get a 3/4 ton diesel pick-up like mine and save money in fuel. I'd be on the market for a new ride getting that kinda milage in that little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 It's kinda hard to believe that a 1.3L engine gets that bad a mpg but that's what Mazda lists it at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
