We have achieved higher mileage on trips to Mt Washington, however, even the new Nanaimo so-called by-pass has 7 or 8 traffic lights that I seem to have to stop and inspect them ALL!! (bang) I take it from your knowledge of the Island, you've been here or lived here before. So, combine the...

My wife might think I'd gone over the edge if I started keeping track of idle time... although it is something that intrigues me... Any special kind of GPS that I would need???

Just the spec tires but I keep them at 39 or 40psi - the max is 44.

Both times were cold miserable Januarys... I've asked the dealer about it many times - they insist my car is running within spec.... I just wonder if it's "just" within spec.... I'd like to try an 08 for a month or 2 just to see if I get the same mileage. Then I'd know for sure if it was me or...

Thanks for the tip - that one never occurred to me.... yes there was a tone of facetiousness to that.... But the nature of the city I live in (Victoria, BC) - there is very little highway driving - if any. It's very hilly and lights are not timed very well. My last trip to Seattle where I...

My tires say max 44psi - and the tire guys say 40... dealer service shop keeps lowering to 32 and I keep going back to 40 after every service. Its my zoom zoom foot getting me the low 20s... not the tire pressure(wrc) Plus I don't go tank by tank... I've been as high as 30 and as low as 16.5...

45 is too high... you're going overboard...

My 06 5MT is getting the same. I guess that's the best it can do... I think others either have miracle cars or they drive like my great grandma....

And I thought I was the only one that had that crazy acceleration when cold. IT PISSES ME OFF EVERYDAY!!!(bang) I'm convinced - and maybe just my paranoia - that it has a serious affect on gas mileage. My dealer assures me that my car has the latest ECU settings and that everything is within...

PS - thanks CoolMazda5 for the comparison of the '06 vs '08 - do you have a preference or are they pretty much the same?

Although the website does not specifically say it uses Imperial - it must. There's no way its US gallons... http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/publications/transportation/fuel-guide/2008/comparing-vehicles.cfm?attr=8#conversion Also, they show how the testing is done and in order to drive like they do in...

2007 Numbers: 34 tanks of gas Avg 11.08 L/100km or 20.09 mpg Not quite the 9.3 L/100km or 25.79 mpg average city/hwy that was posted on the sticker - but I do know those are ideal conditions and I do more city than highway. What I really want to know is what modifications they made to the...

No secret - just had to marry one in the first place. But if you're ever in BC - give me a shout and we'll head out to the mountains with a pair of bikes for a ride you won't soon forget!!

After having mine done - I regret not going with the 5% on all the back windows. I've seen it done that way and it looks real sharp. Local laws prevent me from tinting the driver/passenger window at all - although I did go with 50% on those.
