Now that the CX-5 is 7 years old now I wanted to test my highway MPG again.
I was able to achieve 40 MPG average over the 200 miles after 40 miles of city driving and holding 37 MPG before I started the trip. Temps were 68 F without wind or rain.
Since the engine is broken in well now I'm able to drive faster to maintain 40 MPG. I was able to keep it around 68 MPH almost all of the way.
My second set of tires are well worn (Defenders) and I've removed the hot air intake because I need all the power I can get with the small 2L engine.
We cleaned the valves this summer and replace the Lipton Family sized teabag of a in tank fuel filter.
