My sister bought one when they first hit the lots. Blue awd auto touring.
On the test drive ( I was with her ) I got 34 mpg out of the touring awd. Speeds up to 70 mph and some stop and go traffic all mainly city loop.
The in car display reads about 1.5 mpg high.

She tends to drive a little fast and hard on the gas and brake but she has been averaging about 28- 29 mpg.
It does really great one of solidest cuvs we drove.
Mazda really needed a motor and transmission like the skyactiv. Direct injection.
Edit. It also has an almost complete belly pan. It is very smooth under there.
