Mazda fuel Consumption Database

[jojopad]

Bought my Mazda 3 2018 1.5 last January 2018. So far I've put about 1200km.

So far, here's my recorded stats over 4 top-ups:

(237.7 + 332.3 + 205.1 + 251.0) = 1026 km
(29.01 + 31.68 + 30.38 + 30.02) = 121.09 L

That's an average of 8.47 km/L. Mostly city driving with moderate traffic in Cebu.

Should I be concerned? Or is this the right fuel consumption?

What's your average speed? At very slow moving traffic on a daily basis (10kph or below), your M3's fc is good enough. My 2018 M3 2.0L fc is between 7 to 8 km/Li, ave speed 13kph with total distance of 3000km.

There's no break-in period anymore for most new cars like the M3 although I did notice that the FC got a bit better after driving it for 1000km. Perhaps can be attributed to my improved driving style eg smooth acceleration, less overtaking, etc.

i believe that FC slight increase, is an effect of braking in.
heh heh.

I'll check the average speed later. Yeah, maybe instead of break-in, it's probably the driver making adjustments and that improves the FC. =)
