Never had one, now i have to drive one.



I can't help it i'm flooring the car everyday. It is starting to waste as much gas as my TII when I drive it like a granny.



I'm hoping to get a K&N filter to improve milage. I just went to mazdatrix during lunch and they were out of them. Dam I have to order one and wait.

I also get 23 mpg on the highway, at 70 mph, with the cruise control on. This is on an almost stock AT. Mixed highway/city with infrequent red lines gives 20 mpg. Flogging gets 18 mpg or less. Horsepower is never free
