highest MPG you obtained in your mazda 3
what was the highest MPG you ever got in your mazda 3? the highest i've obtained was 32 MPG. i have a 2009 I Touring sedan with the 2.0 engine with the 4 speed auto tranny. i would probably get better mileage if i had the 5 speed manual. i do wish mazda could've made the gas tank bigger.
i've been thinking aobut getting a scan guage II so i can monitor my fuel economy better and know when i'm really close to empty.

Speaking of manual transmissions and mileage, I have aleways heard and read from car experts for years now, the sooner your car is in high gear, the better your mileage will be.
Shifting a manual between gears takes longer to reach the high gear than the shifting of an automatic, therefore the auto trans should give better mileage.
I had a 6 cyl stick shift (not mazda) and it was terrible on gas.
When I purchased the same truck with a v8 and automatic, my mileage was ten times better.
My Mazda with auto gets on adverage 27 around town, and on a trip, 33 mpg.
