Full tank 900KM on 1.5L is not impossible... depending on fuel tank size and apa maciam drive lor...

Even when I was driving Sonata YF 2.0 which is known for its heavy fuel consumption, I drive to BKH, then back to Penang jalan jalan... IIRC I get almost twice the fc I get when driving in KL. My speed is average 90-110kmh for the entire journey and much slower when driving in Penang. I get like 750km in total before refilling. It has a 70L tank. On top of that, Im using performance tyres like PS3. If they used eco tyres, the rolling resistant should be lower as well.

The "famous capacitor problem" in Mazda vehicles refers to the failure of the i-ELOOP regenerative braking system's large capacitor. This issue is particularly common in models like the Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and CX-5 produced from around 2013 onwards, as the component degrades over time.
The i-ELOOP System and the Problem
The i-ELOOP system is designed to improve fuel efficiency by capturing kinetic energy during deceleration and storing it in a large capacitor (ultracapacitor). This stored energy powers the vehicle's electrical components, reducing the load on the engine's alternator.
The capacitor has a lifespan, and environmental factors like heat can accelerate its degradation, with failures commonly observed after 6-7 years of ownership, particularly in hot climates.

yes, 44, it was a typos on my end.
still, 44l for 800+km is impressive for ICE.

i achieve that on mixed of city & city highway drive, on eco mode.
mostly weekends go dating or outstation drive.
maybe my driving style is smooth. i dont like sudden heavy braking or sudden acceleration if not needed.
ie, gently cruise to a highway speed & maintain highway speed, or gently cruise to slow down before exit or tolls.

for daily rush hour commute, drive mazda 2 instead.
also able to achieve 800+km on a single 44l tank.

usually, what car manufacturer claims are lab test & not really achievable on real world condition.
i'm pretty surprise that mazda actually delivers on it's FC claim.

but cannot be saud about everyone la.
some drivers heavy footer, prefer the omph of engine rev.
it's ok to not care about FC, especially fuel cheap nowadays.

i drive my mazda 2 daily jam rush hour.
i would say 30m jam + 15m cruise per way.
so 1 hour of jam + 30m cruise per day.

maybe different driving style, also different engine, engine oil condition also plays a big role.
still, 690km os pretty good.

I remembered last time rent Vios J spec 2010-2011 model, awesome fuel consumption + manual + very light body. Can drove 160kmh easily from the 1.5L NA.

yupp, those are fast at that time period too, less than 10s for 0-100km/h while most other similar class cars are 11-12 seconds

in labuan that car is so cheap, around rm50k brand new after rebate

I belip chu. I won't doubt a bit on the efficiency of newer gen engines like the Skyactiv G that is using GDI tech.

In comparison, my dinosaur tech 4G92P MT can do 18+km/l on KL Ktn drives consistently back in mid-2000s, if I don't push it. Just casual 90-110km/h, but this on EURO2 ECU, not the older Mitsu ECU. In 2022 in Cameron Highland trip, it did 17+km/l return trip to KL without refuelling. Since family was onboard and going up mountain, no hypermiling technique applied.

With driving methods shared by you above, I am confident a very recent tech-ed 1.5litre engine should be achieving better FC as I am using same methods too.

Looking at this chart MYR vs JPY Yen from 2020 to 2025

JPY CBU would be 40-50% cheaper to buy now compare to 2020. Looks like we are still paying the premium for the car.
