Mazda Mx5 Eunos Roadster mpg

When you feel there is something wrong with the car or smell petrol and think this is a issue, then a quick check is to see how good your car is working is a good idea. If the engine is serviced and has clean filters, it should be working at its best.
I filled the Mazda Eunos Roadster with petrol to the brim of the petrol cap, zero the tripometer and took a reading of the miles which is in kilometres as it is a import vehicle. I started on 195,098 km and finished the journey at 195,190 km of mainly motorway and A roads with a small amount of town roads. At the end of the journey I managed to fill with 5.91 litres. As I prefer my figures in miles per gallon. I converted litres to gallon, 5.91 litres divided by 4.55 equals 1.29 gallons. Divided Kilometres to miles, 92 kms to 57 miles. Then worked out the miles to gallon at 44.2mpg. On average my car when checked returns 36mpg so this was a good indication the car engine and all its components were set up and working.

Miata Mazda eunos mx5 change the hood for a new one

If you look at the picture you will see a damaged window. this was lowered when it was cold and the plastic broke. Also the roof was old and there was areas where the stiching was starting to open and let water in.
I managed to fit the new one without taking the frame off although it would have been easier to fit to some parts of the bottom brackets. Now looking through the rear window is as clear as daylight...
