Mazda CX-5

I use Petron Extra. I think friend Larry uses Blaze or V-Power.

Therefore caltex gold which is 95RON is OK to use and will
give better performance. Thanks ;-)

Just want to share. . . Recently got my CX5 and drove to Vigan with total of 853km even before my first 1000km check up. My fc reading when I got back is 7.3l/100km. Not sure how good/bad this is. Im using Petron XCS.

Wow! Wonderful FC for a 2.0L gas suv!

The 2nd Gen CR-V is really a huge guzzler, even with the 2.0. Something about the tuning of the K20 variant that went in that car. The 3rd gen with the R20 is much, much better... and even the third gen with the K24 and AWD is better than the old 2.0... I remember driving that through the hills of Tanay for a photoshoot and watching the fuel gauge go down, down, down...

My uncle complained about his 2nd gen CR-V AWD. Said it was more economical to take out his Ford Explorer (old 4.0) on the highway because it drank less gas!

The 3rd gen CR-V is much better... much better transmission, better engine tuning. Our 2.4 still does 5-7 in traffic... but what do you expect? It's a fricking 2.4. The 2.5 CX7 is a match for our car and the 2.4 RAV4 in terms of fuel economy. It's a "guzzler" only if you compare it to a compact 1.6...

But seeing the CX5, I understand why they dropped the CX7. The CX5 has similar interior space and trunk space yet is smaller... much more efficient packaging than the CX7.

I see. That's why I was wondering why there are mixed feedback regarding FC of the 2nd gen CRV. The 3rd gen 2.4 is normal for 5-7 for city driving. Have yet to reach 6 for Xtrail CVT. My last FC is 5.4 using Caltex Gold, almost same FC as Caltex Silver.

*Vertigo - Your FC is still good even at 9km/L for city driving. Almost on par with 1.8L engines.

wow that's very good, around 13.7km/li of fuel. ang 1.5MT Jazz ko nga eh around 6.8-7.1li/100Km with mixed City and Hiway drive.... with that economy probably hindi ma-traffic going up North?

Comparisons comparisons: while its more of like Apples to Orange comparison....it just show's how well designed and executed this car really is.... too bad no opportunity to buy the high-tech new Diesel engine...
