Mazdaspeed3 as a daily driver?

I am also a huge fan of the "paid for" car!

What is the range of gas mileage on these? What is the difference in mpg between the MS and non-turbo?

When I was commuting daily 65miles round trip at 75mph on the SRT, I got 22 to 24mpg.
Now that I just do short trips (i.e. doesn't fully warm up) I'm down to 19 to 21mpg.
If I had a lighter right foot, it could be better.

Thanks, that's great info. Surprisingly that's just a tad better than my 2000 Mazda MPV mini van.
