I've got an Auto and mine sucks. Gas Mileage is my only complaint with the car.

I average 21-23 mixed highway and city. To compare, my dad gets 19-22 with a '05 V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Mostly between 21 and 23; 25 if I'm lucky (and do more highway miles than usual). 5-speed manual 06 Sport GS.

All Mazdas seem to get worse gas mileage than their class counterparts. It'sthe price you pay for more low-end torque. Also one of the reasons I bought my car. It's nice to pass at cruising speed without having to downshift, even uphill.

I had a Winning Blue 3s 5 door awhile ago as a rental, I drove it from St Louis to New York City and back ... it got well over 30 mpg for the trip, 32-33mpg average for the 2000+ miles. I really like that car Handled good, decent power, good stereo, good ride ... I bought a Tribute afterward, but seriously thought about getting a 5 door.

5 speed with 2.3 and am getting roughly 28-30 combined driving, how hard are you guys driving or what rpm are you shifting at, a lot of yours seem to be a bit low. You guys must be beating on Sentra's and Corolla's all day.

I've got the canadian version of the S (3gt, auto) and I'm getting crappy MPG's.
I'm getting 18 mpg on average, but, my dealer says it's because I drive so little distances that I get all cold starts when the engine is running rich. I drive mostly in the city and my commute to work is only 2 miles. I have 6k miles on it. So, is my dealer correct in his reasoning? And does anyone else have these same driving conditions that are getting better MPG than me?
