2009 Mazda Mazda6 Fuel Economy: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 28.5 mpg. Driving to the interstate, taking the interstate to the other side of town, then driving to work (or home).
2009 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 So far seems higher than EPA estimates. Gearing close so that I can drive 30-40 around town in 5ht or even 6th. 6th should be further out to improve mileage even more.
2009 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The fuel economy is in the upper range of the norm for this class of car.
2009 Mazda Mazda6 Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Hmmm...yes, this is the sore point. But to tell you the truth, I am getting a little tired of pursueing one at the loss of the other. And do enjoy regular gas.
2009 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Well, the 4 cylinder was wonderful, averaging 25mpg, but the large 3.7 seems to be averaging around 21/22...not much better, if not the same, than the Lincoln MKS. But I DO drive this car really hard. Its difficult not to, its so much fun.
2009 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 i like the power feeling which that engine can provide only above 4000 rpms, and than it drinks :)
