FUEL ECONOMY

To achieve the best fuel economy:
• D rive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration and excessive braking will
lower fuel economy.
• O bserve the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly at speeds
above 60 mph.
• K eep tires properly inflated. Under-inflated 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.
• M onitor 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:
• R emove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower fuel economy.
• A void excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
• U se cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to maintain
a constant speed and saves gas.
• U se overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle's engine
speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
• U se a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher
octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
