2016 Mazda CX-5 - 30 Seems low

I am only getting about 30 mpg urban and I hardly touch the gas pedal .have you got the same problem I don’t have the air con on .

Actually it is probably on even when you don’t ask for it . That is how modern systems keep the window from fogging up.
Have you even looked at what your vehicle is rated at for MPG . Urban driving you may be lucky to get that.
Edit: A 2019 Mazda CX-5 is rated up to 26 city and 35 highway. So if you are really getting about 30 MPG you are doing fine. That is assuming you are checking your fuel mileage the proper way with pen and paper.

The EPA says 26 city/34 highway. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=noform&path=1&year1=2016&year2=2016&make=Mazda&model=CX-5%202WD&srchtyp=ymm If you’re averaging 30 you’re probably doing about as well as can be expected.

We get 29 to 30 MPG in our 2018 CX-5. My 2016 Forester gets the same. 30 is normal for vehicles in this class.

Yeah, 30 is GREAT. Did you get better mpgs some other time?
