Hi,

I'm trying to get information about how can I reduce (manipulate) the mileage of my 05 Mazda3 LX.

Thanks

 

I have done a number ofmods to mine hoping for more performance and mileage, and I'm sorry to dissappoint you, but I have found nothingwill improve the mileage of these things... short of laying off the gas pedal and the A/C. I have managed to increase performance some, but my mileage has stayed about as consistant as traffic allows. W/my 2.3 5-sp, I usually get between 26-29mpg w/no A/C, and 24-26 w/A/C.
In my old Honda (carburetor/distributor/no ECU days) I was able to acheive both. But these modern cars are fool proof to all but the most electronically/cyberspaced geniuses. I beleive a whole new set of perameters and software would have to be written in order to do what you are asking.

Best advise, lay off the go pedal and A/C as much as possible.

 

well, is your car automatic or standard, if its standard, just shift at around 2k rpm, and always cruise in high gear.

inflate your tires over the recommended ratings, so instead of 32 psi, put them to 40, but be careful tho, as too much will cause uneven wear.

go easy on the gas... the slower you accelerate, the less gas you will use up...

im not 100% sure on this one, but install a CAI, the colder air will increase fuel consumption, because the car will not burn as much gas....

 

What?
2K? He'll be lugging the engine down to idle and it'll take 25 secs. to get to 60. That's not good either. Galled engine bearings are more expensive to replace than a little extra fuel.
When I'm being conservative, which I usually only do before oil tempature is achieved, I'll shift between 2.5-3.5k.
I run between 36 and 38 in the fronts, 30-32 rear, and for the street that may be pushing it.
A CAI is not liable to increase mileage either, just allow the engine to breath better and the denser charge may actually use more fuel. More fuel, more power. But if you're going the conservative route, a CAI would be a waste of money imo. They work best at higher RPMs.

 

Guys,

My excuses by the understood. My question goes directed to how can change the millage of the odometer? At present my car has 63K miles, a 2005 car.

 

That's illegal and immoral....If it has that kind of mileage, it has that kind of mileage.

Trying to rip someone off are we????

Good luck with your illegal activities (I believe it's called FRAUD)

 

Thanks,

I'm know what I doing. If you don't have any good comments, don't waist your time.

 

hectopr,

I agree with sstlaure. What you're suggesting is fraud and illegal. How would you feel if some one sold you a car that had 63,000 miles on it and they dialed it back to say 10,000?

btw I believe that the mileage is saved in both the odometer and in the ECU so unless you're damn good at computer hacking you wouldn't be able to anyway.

 

Good, then you know what you are doing is illegal (in Puerto Rico as well.)

Don't expect any help with this from this forum....

 

Thank you icspots for your response.
