FUEL ECONOMY

To achieve the best fuel economy:

  •   

Drive sensibly.

 Speeding, rapid acceleration and excessive braking will 

lower fuel economy. 

  •   

Observe the speed limit.

 Fuel economy can decrease rapidly at speeds 

above 60 mph. 

  •   

Keep tires properly inflated.

 Under-inflated tires will lower fuel economy. 

  • 

 Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s manual 

and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your Authorized 

Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of Mazda engines.

  •   

Monitor the Current Fuel Economy on the MID (if equipped).

 The 

current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds. 

Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:

  •   Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower fuel economy. 
  •   Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas. 
  •   Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to maintain  

a constant speed and saves gas. 

  •   Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s engine 

speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear. 

  •   Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher 

octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
