I was wondering what kind of gas milage the FD got.....stock. What it really gets not what Mazda says it gets. PLEASE HELP

It's going to vary by driver, depends on how much you really put your foot into it. I've seen 20mpg on a tank, but I've also seen 13mpg on a tank. This is all in a relativley stock car.

I have gotten as low as 10, and as high as 25.

When I drove my car down from NC (where I bought it) I got almost 30 mpg (all highway). Yet city Ive gone as low as 14 and as high as 20.

I got about 28 MPG on a 300 mile trip from the East side of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the West side of Houston Texas.

In the city, it's pretty bad, but then again I have a lead foot in the city.

While filing up today I put 15 gallons in. The trip odo said 173.X miles. But my car is running rich and i believe my sparkplugs are fouled.

But like they said- the more action the throtle gets- the more the fuel pump gets.
These cars arent hondas (unfortunatly). I get 35 mpg driving it (trying to anyway) like the 7.

is it really that bad of an emergency to know what the gas mileage is on an fd? i mean, come on, why the "PLEASE HELP"??? its not like you accidentally snipped one of your nads while shaving your ***** or something...

i really hate when people burn this into people who dont deserve it, but did you even try to run a search for, perhaps, "gas mileage"?

well, anyway, on my fd i used to average about 11-13 mpg in the city and around 16 mpg on a full freeway driven tank when it was stock. after going with all the bolt ons and straight pipe, i averaged about 1.5-2 mpg lower all the time.

The gas tank is 20.x gallons.

I always got ~16MPG on the highway, and a few less city. This past weekend, on a long highway drive I got 20MPG! And this was driving ~90MPH and boosting lots to fly by slow-pokes. I was happy with that, but doubt it'll happen again soon.

I got 23 through the mountains in Flagstaff AZ on the Highway.

But honestly who care about MPG in a sports car!!!

I'd say my lowest would be 7-8mpg and highest would be close to 17-18mpg. Most of the huge increase is due to

I was getting about 22-24hwy when i first got my car 10K on rebuilt motor, and now I get about 20-22hwy after I added about 60rwhp in mods.

A stock FD in good running condition will get the mileage stated by Mazda, 17/25. This is assuming you drive economically. With a cold air intake, downpipe, and catback, i can get slightly better than 25 mpg on the highway. Again this assumes a constant cruising speed of no more than 65 miles/hour. Also, the fuel light usually comes on when there is at least 3 gallons left in the tank so dont assume that just because you see the light on the fuel gauge you have used all 20 gallons in the tank.
