TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX-5 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	In a bid to broaden the appeal of its cars, Mazda added a focus on fuel economy to its traditional emphasis on handling. The 2013 CX-5 earned surprising EPA fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city, 35 highway--but with a manual transmission and front-wheel-drive. Add AWD and a six-speed automatic transmission, and the ratings fell to a less lofty but still competitive 25/31. This, though, was with the wheezy 155-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. Certainly adding a half-liter of displacement (and 29 horsepower) must impact mpg. It does, but not much: fuel economy drops by a single mile per gallon, yielding 24/30. For those who'd like to trade the extra power for one mpg, the 2.0 continues to power the base "Sport" trim. I don't foresee many takers. The larger engine feels much stronger. At least as important, it doesn't sound nearly as weak and buzzy. But you won't find powertrain performance among the reasons to buy a CX-5 because the improvement merely makes the CX-5 competitive in this area. The CR-V and RAV4, among others, are about equally quick. Even with slightly lower EPA ratings the CX-5 still bests the 22/29 RAV4, especially in city/suburban driving. But there's a new segment champ. The 2014 Subaru Forester manages 24/32. see full Mazda CX-5 review

Mazda CX-5 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My Mazda is the AWD model, and, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's bascially hitting its EPA numbesr so far. I've done 3 long trips, mostly interstate, running 70 - 75 Mph, and, average mileage is running 27.5 - 30 Mpg. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2014	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Hard to complain about averaging 27 mpg in an all wheel drive vehicle that is mostly surburban driven. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2014	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This SUV gets as good mileage as my father's Ford Escape Hybrid! Overall, I love that I am actually getting better MPG than my previous car, which was a 2009 Mazda 6. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2014	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The number two reason I chose this vehicle was for the gas mileage, which has so far exceeded my expectations. According to the information screen, I've been averaging between 29 and 30 mpg. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2014	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel economy was the best in its class. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2013	4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	True to EPA estimates, 25 city/31 highway for the AWD AT. I've tracked about half of the miles I have driven on fuelly and get ~28mpg (mostly using the car to commute to work on state routes w/ 55 mph speed limits). see full Mazda CX-5 review

2013	4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Outstanding, I am still meeting or beating the EPA standards for this vehicle with an automatic transmission. Over a 3500 mile road trip, the total (calculated) MPG was 31.3 for the entire trip, this was 2600 miles of interstate, and about 900 miles of city driving and touring. The speeds on the highway were 70-80 MPH for most of the interstate, so this seems to be above EPA speeds. Of course the mileage drops off above 70 mph, but cruising at 80 MPH in west Texas, the average (tank to tank) on the two tanks was 29.6 MPG. Most of this is because of the fact that the transmission is a help as well, the locking converter and six speeds allow for a good range of flexibility for the engine to run. see full Mazda CX-5 review
2013	4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Being a "green" thinking person, I liked the fact that the Mazda has the best fuel economy in it's class, by a fair margin! It does deliver on it's claim: I get 30-33 on the highway, depending on average speed, even in the up and down terrain of Seattle highways, and average 20-23 in strictly city driving. Again, we have a lot of hills in Seattle, which have a big affect on fuel economy. The modest sized engine does work and rev a bit more than some of the others I drove, but it does just fine overall. IF you want a very fast 0-60 time get a BMW or Porsche SUV, but be prepared to pay the price at the pump!! see full Mazda CX-5 review

Dodge Durango Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2006	Like the Durango SRT's key strength, it doesn't require the skills of Sherlock Holmes to detect the Dodge's primary weakness: its fuel economy. In the EPA's tests, the Durango SRT managed only 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. The trip computer typically reported 12 mpg in my suburban driving. Driving the brute like a Prius bumped the number all the way to 15 mpg. On the highway I observed as high as 20 mpg, again in line with the EPA rating. The Durango R/T manages a bit better, 14/22, putting it not far off the Explorer Sport's 16/22. But a Mercedes-AMG GLS63, with turbochargers to pack more fuel-air mixture into its cylinders, can guzzle even more than the Durango SRT: 13/17. If you want an ultra-quick three-row vehicle with outstanding fuel economy, you're currently limited to the Tesla. Though perhaps the plug-in hybrid Volvo XC90 T8's 26/30 is good enough? see full Dodge Durango review

2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	Mileage is actually pretty good for an 8 person hauler, but compared to our old 5 passenger SUV we are giving up 2-3 MPG. Will know more after a couple more fill-ups for sure. see full Dodge Durango review
