"First tank in the car since buying it. MPG may not be accurate yet - need to find the sweet spot for filling. May stop at the first click each time...
However, this will serve as a general indication. Maybe 2/3 of the tank was motorway cruising at 65mph ish, and the rest is commuting and a few blasts here and there." |

"Tank of 98, for the hell of it.
I should note the last three tanks have been on brand-new Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyres. The old tyres were in pretty bad shape, so it's too early to say whether my recent economy has been down to them or not, but it certainly doesn't seem to be harming." |

Have also gone back and edited all previous entries to take account of my over-reading speedometer.
Note to self: Subtract 5.714% from all future distance numbers!" |

"Can't really explain the high economy here, other than that my commute seems particularly un-taxing on the Mazda. I think I did a few longer trips at nearer 65, rather than 70-ish too. Either way, I never thought these cars were really capable of this sort of economy." |

"Car has been mostly unused since the summer. Poor MPG is I suspect a combination of two issues - evaporation and running on slightly stale fuel the couple of times I've used it in that entire time, and the fact that a significant proportion of that tank was used on a track day." |

"Odo at 158,003. Car has been off the road since early 2018. Poor economy likely due to some evaporation and starting and moving around at very low speeds now and then. Result anomalous." |
