i have recently purchased a mazda 3 skyactiv. rated at 38mpg on the highway i decided to put this to the test. i used cruise control to make sure that my speeds were as steady as possible and i got rather saddening results, tho cruise control could be the culprit. all tests ran on roads as level as possible.
55mph - 45-50 mpg
65mph - 40-45 mpg
75mph - 35-40 mpg
80mph - 26-30 mpg
cant anyone verify this?? at 80mph with cruise gave me horrible results. my old 08 mazda 6 could get low to mid 30's mpg all day long at 80. at near the same rpm if not lower on the skyactiv i take a hit on mpg, that doesnt make any sense to me..
