cx9 fuel consumption

[dissin]

before I made up my mind to buy the kluger, i did consider the cx-9 however the "official" fuel consumption of 13L scared me off knowing that actuals would be higher.

some of the cx-9 owners from the ozmazda forum are saying they are STILL getting 16.9L after 6000kms!!!

another is even worse at 18-20L

most seem to be around 14.7 to 14.9L

i think i made the right decision with the kluger (for many reasons, not only fuel consumption)

Of course we did., the cx9 and cx7 are too inefficient!

Although i wish mine was better, i've been getting 16L with short drives but drops pretty quick when i get on a highway!

loooooosen your right foot

even my wife who does short trips only around the ACT (less dense air with less oxygen), one in early morning cold, is getting respectable 13.5 - 14.5. :o

and keep it under 3.2K revs for most gear changes (in S) unless you strive for pure brute pleasure

it also helps to use engine for braking (in S) slowing progressively to stops/lights
