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.
