How close do you get to the 29/34 mpg rating Mazda advertises? I have a Kia Sportage and bought it mainly for its advertised 28/32 mpg, but combined I get in the 26 range and I do hypermiling to even get that. At least Kia offered a cashback scheme since they were caught fudging the numbers. Every couple of years I’ll go to the dealer and they’ll check the mileage and calculated the gas prices over that span of time and issue out a cash card.
We haven’t done a long trip. But, around town in Houston freeways and surface streets combined it is showing 26.8 on the least expensive gas my wife can find. But we don’t drive a whole lot.
