How economical is the new Mazda3?

What is a reasonable expectation for mpg in a new Mazda3 2.2 diesel?

Our answer:

Hi Fionan,

The official figure is well over 60mpg but in our experience the Mazda3 2.2 is more likely to score high-forties, low-fifties at best. You could be better off going for the new 1.5 diesel when that arrives as it's likely to be able to crack the 60mpg barrier in daily driving.
