FUEL ECONOMY
To achieve the best fuel economy:
 • Drive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration and excessive braking will
lower fuel economy.
 • Observe the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly at speeds
above 60 mph.
 • Keep tires properly inflated. Under-inated tires will lower fuel economy.
 • Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s manual
and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your Authorized
Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of Mazda engines.
 • Monitor the Current Fuel Economy on the MID (if equipped).The
current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds.
Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:
 • Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower fuel economy.
 • Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
 • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to maintain
a constant speed and saves gas.
 • Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s engine
speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
 • Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher
octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
