What kind of real world gas mileage are people getting with their Mazdaspeed6 or Mazdaspeed3?
Both the last two answers are correct. All your 2008 window stickers are federally tested now which is why you saw the small drop in most cars and the larg drops on most your big SV’s and Hybrids. When you are manually calculating MPG you are calcualating gas consumed at long idle which is why there can be a slight difference. The Mazda3 while the only Mazda that offers that fuel estimating system takes into affect long idles that are longer than normal lights like sitting in a parkinglot listening to music. As well as the Speed is a direct injected Engine so your car is still burning the gas that remained when you jsut finished a long drive which is why you have to watch out for flooding similar to the RX8. the new RX8’s 2009 are flood proof improving on what was done in the lower RPM boosting Speeds and CX7. I have the new white and gray speeds.
