i don't know whom to believe. the real life "AVG MPG" in 2015 3 is 32:

even when one filters to the 2.0 engine, the average is 34.
42-43 is way out in the tail of the curve, hypemillers, certainly not driving 80-85 mph.

No idea. I'm just going by the numbers on the display screen for avg mpg.

Actually there is. To the left of the Mazda3 i center speedometer, there is a tach although, it was glared out by the light. Only the most basic Mazda3 sedan, has just a speedo and no tach. And on the Mazda3 S, instead of the Center Speedo, the is a Center Tach(I like the center speedo best!).

2.5 Mazda 6 averaging 35mpg on my commute on 87 pump fuel and Mobil 1 EP. Perfectly awesome. My subaru only got 24 with -10hp.

aww, come on - that doesn't count!

My Sportwagen will routinely say 42 mpg or better for a trip, but I know that's not accurate. 39 is more like reality.

Stand back...we agree on something...

Actually I was told they are pretty accurate, within 5%.

The one on my Cruze is 1 1/2 to 2 mpg optimistic.

I believe it. Still not that bad.
