Just repeating what I see on their own site about the engine....

Mazda SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY

Fuel Efficiency
26/35 mpg (Manual transmission, FWD)*

26/32 mpg (Automatic transmission, FWD)*

25/31 mpg (Automatic transmission, AWD)*

Edit,... oh wait, that's the G version (gas)


BUT, if you want a good one right now..... http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2012/05/84-mpg-couple-break-mileage-record-with-passat-tdi.html

And I watch these being built everyday right here in Chattanooga

I suspect the mpg is a low guess to cover later test data.


61.4mpg is what I was reading.

As to it ever arriving in the US ???
At this point my disgust - negative belief:

#1. Major media, all...

#2. Politicians, all.

#3. Automobile manufacturers, until supported by personal experience with each model..

Show me hard proof that the most pessimistic judicial court will accept, then I will believe..
