2009	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I am a very spirited driver! Translation: I put my foot in it! I drive this car hard and it still gives me 480km/tank at $1.06/ltr.

2009 Mazda Mazda3 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It sucks (literally). Slightly better than 25 mpg overall (I am driving one with a bigger engine). The 3 i variant would do better without much sacrafaces. But the rating is still below Civics and Corollas of the world. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2010	4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy in the VW GTI is slightly better than the Mazda 3, but it requires premium fuel. In the end, it's about even. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2009	4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD	We average aprox 22MPG. Dont buy the Speed version of the Mazda 3 if your looking for fuel economy. Buy it if you have a smile pasted on your face when you drive. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Best case mileage is about as good as the worst case with the Civic. Between higher fuel and insurance costs, the total cost of ownership on the Speed3 made it not worth the extra money in spite of superior performance... to me see full Mazda Mazda3 review

2008	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I wish it was better. I get about 23MPG in the city and 27 combined city/highway. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
