Nope. If you don't wanna use the iStop switch, this is a reversible option to keep it off.[emoji4]

I think this is the first time my brother did this on highway, 17 km/L. Considering that it's an AWD 2.5 gasoline variant, this is a good figure. City driving has been consistent so far, between 8 to 9 km/L. No accumulated data yet for highway driving but the figure is quite promising.

One of my best buds also has about those city drive numbers on the same variant, good sir! Grats to your brother!

My brother is "complaining" with the fuel consumption, I think he has been comparing it with his Elantra but his CX-5 has a bigger engine and is heavier compared to his car. Anyways, he is really happy with it. With all those plastic trims he got used to Elantra and Tucson, he can't complain with Mazda's leather design.

Perhaps he is starting to feel the increase in gasoline price. For me, not much since the price last year of gasoline is now the price of diesel and so I don't "feel" the increase. Plus, I get a two way travel to my usual route in one full tank compared to our CR-V 98 which is just one full tank.

Of course, we can't compare an apple to an orange. It is just that I'm truly satisfied with my purchase of Mazda 6.

Oh well, TRAIN forced a tweak in our trips, routes & lifestyle. Efficient mode is constantly on now. On foot for short distances...I still have no plans to unretire my bikes, tho. I'll try to keep enjoying combustion's last stand.[emoji4]

Most probably, yes. I'll ask and get back right away if he is still up tonight.

My brother is using Caltex silver unleaded. I don't know why he isn't using Shell when it is just a few kilometers away.

I decided to use Shell only following the recommendation of Mazda, marketing or not.
