with my new car
sold my 1981 toyota 4wd
got me a 2012 mazda 3 i hatchback touring 6 speed manual.
2.0 skyactiv motor.
rated 31 combined and 38 highway.
im 350 miles into the first tank. reset the avg mpg and trip on first fill up. was with the guy who filled it up.
im at almost 39mpg.
i have drove it to work a few times and a few other people have drove it.
i have hit the red line a few times.
does 2500rpm at 70 mph
the car almost has a full belly pan. most of the grill is blocked. it specs at 36 psi in the tires on P205/55R16 all-season radial tires.
still getting use to the car. give me a few tanks to learn it. it coasts like what seems forever to me.
first and second are short geared. and i seem to accidently chirp 2nd a few times at 3k rpm shifts. and even third once on purpose.
and the payment(0.0% interest), insurance and gas is cheaper than the gas in my truck.
and me and my sisters
went from two white jeeps to two blue mazdas.
