Drove from Navarre Beach to Pensacola Beach for dinner tonight. A 20-ish mile drive along the beach through the marine reserve, with a speed limit of 35. It’s rather strictly enforced when a lot of vacationers are around, so I set the cruise at like 38-39.
Hit 44k miles and 44 miles per gallon (well, almost). A far cry from the measly 25.9 I average at home. Damn stop-and-go traffic commute . And Kentucky heatwave making me blast the A/C all the time.
My 6 has its shortcomings, but overall, I still really like it. I’m going to give it a good cleaning when I’m home and off work on Monday.
My favorite thing about it? The fact that it’s paid off.

It’s a handsome car and
it always feels good to be driving without a car payment..

26 mpg is about what I get in the 3, cruising on the highway.

Not that many modern cars I think are good looking, but Mazda got it right with the 6. If I ever decide to replace my IS300 it will be on the shortlist, regular gas (right?) and better mpgs would definitely be welcome, but then I would have car payment again.

They’re really good cars. My parents are now enjoying their second 6, after trading in their 2016 t ouring for a 2019 grand touring reserve with the turbo. They end up being two very different takes on the same car, but both are very good.

Beautiful ride and impressive fuel economy! I somehow managed to capture this image when I struck 111,111 miles on my 2007 GTI. It’s of course the insta-mpg, and I’d reset the trip odometer for the occasion...but I think Domo the GTI was showing off for me.
My actual, hand calculated mpg over the 121k
I’ve tracked is 26.7 btw, not super impressive, but not too bad either.

That’s only slightly better than the new van averages in mixed driving.......
Great looking car man!

I love my 6, my favorite is the interior there was nothing on the market in my price range that came close to it.

Yep. Regular gas on the N/A ones like mine. The new-for-2018 turbo ones can run on 87 or 93.

Which is why my commute sucks. It’s hard to get good gas mileage when you’re sitting idle with the A/C on.

Ya that’s never very good for mileage.
