Hi.. i recent get a s40 2.4i 2007 w/ 13200 orig miles... its perfect but i notice than is consuming a lot of gas.. im coming from a mazda 6 2005 4 cil... and the gas in that car stay for like a week driving normal to and from my office.. but this car reach half of tank in two to tree days.. its a small gas tank.. or i have to check something that maybe is going wrong??? any idea?.. i was thinking, becouse i dont have a real record of this car.. start w/ air filter change.. oil/filter change.. i already check tires... but its too new that im really lost at this point.

$3.25 cheaper gas arround...

I bought a 2007 2.4i with 8k miles.

I noticed the exact same thing. Gas consumption is horrible. Do you not have the trip calculator?

It has a 15.9 gallon tank, the light turns on when 2.1 gallons are left. So you have about 40 miles to get to a station.


I am putting in 91 octane at 3.65 (Orange County)

so assume 18mpg if you drive in city and I guess 24 on highway.
I drive with a heavy foot.

286 Miles per tank city
382 Miles per tank hwy

I am thinking if I was gentle on the gas peddle I could avg 340 miles per tank.
