20 years of driving I’ve never left car running while putting gas lol. There’s signs for it to not do that
I can't imagine complaining about having to turn your car off to pump gas. You should be doing that.
Well I counted 4 other people yesterday that were pumping gas with the car running so even know it may not be the “right” way to pump gas it is a common thing. Hybrids and pressurized gas tanks are not popular in my book.
I feel that most of the people that say you should not be refueling with car running dont live where it is -20F in the winter. I know it is not the "proper" method but still it is way more common than you think.@@Mike-pb7jm
Those signs are put there by lawyers, not engineers. There's no real risk. I say this as an engineer and a gear head.
If it's either too cold or too hot outside to leave the car on while fueling, how long does it take you to fill your tank? Two hours? Do you leave your doors and windows open that in four minutes all the heat/cold escapes?
To each its own, but you got the cx90 phev, so you win. Nicest car!
And having to use your turn signal. Oh woe is me
You need to put the wipers on service mode. Then they come up a bit and you can lift them - refer to user manual.
The gas stations forbid you from running the car while fueling the car.
I know that written comments sound tone death, I do not mean to criticize anyone, just sharing some thoughts. I appreciate this channel as there is far and few info about PHEV CX-90 from owner’s point of view.
Likely the gas tank is under pressure - so that it can be precisely injected as needed with stop/start of the engine? That is my theory.
Good to know about the service mode for wipers but still an extra pain that should be unnecessary. It may be “forbidden” but how many people leave the car running ?? I suspect a lot more than you would think.
@@premiumoctane93my Audi is just like that. I never put my wipers in service mode, it’s just a hassle. I just lift the wipers high enough to wipe under them. I don’t know why they designed it that way. 🤦♂️
@@heNzVf20c So dumb !
@@heNzVf20cthis is to improve aerodynamics in high speeds, reduce drag and wind noise. Germans know their stuff, it is better that way, trust them!
Completely correct. It’s common on Euro vehicles to have a service mode purely to ensure that wipers are low enough not to add extra drag.
Gas refuelling with running engine is not allowed. The reason that it takes a few seconds to be ready to refuel is to switch valves on the EVAP system so gas vapoursdo not go into the atmosphere.
The active lane assist did work, you decided not to indicate when changing lane.
If you had fallen asleep while driving it may have well saved your life.
I don’t understand why you need to abandon prudent driving practices just because you are on a road trip. Someone is in your blind spot, you happen to not see the blind spot warning and decide to change lane without indicating… bang, the road trip is ruined…
People who change lanes with no indication *ahead* of moving lanes are by pet peeve.
I didn’t want it to work though, during a 2900 mile road trip there are just times that you just don’t want to signal every time.
What can I say sometimes I am an aggressive driver when you need to get in front of a semi or a person going under the speed limit in the passing lane... There are instances for me at least where the signal can get overlooked as I am concentrating on the situation.
In Jersey, a lot of gas stations don’t pump for you unless you’ve turned the car off.
You have to turn the car off to pump gas… but you can still have the accessory mode on.
I usually do this when fueling my ICE vehicles and I did not even realize this was an issue when gassing up.
During my road trip where I averaged around 70 mph I was getting almost 30 mpg.
When the cruise control slows down in corners I just step on the gas almost every car I have used with adaptive cruise seem to do this at times.
Thanks for the review! The pictures of Yellowstone were breathtaking!👍
That 70mph helps a lot for mileage. It also didn’t help that most of my driving was in the north west with a lot of mountain driving.
Maybe this is a stupid question but what does it many when you were charging and they had that Tesla Only sign for that stall? Does that mean we shouldn't use it charge a non Tesla vehicle? What happend if you do?
Turning off engine to pump gas doesn't bother me. You're supposed to do that anyway. Otherwise, great info and thanks for sharing.
Did you drive in the automatic charge mode? I know you mentioned the regen braking downhill, but what about that auto charge while driving?
No charge mode driving, my mpg was already pretty bad so didn’t want to make it worse with charging mode.
Awesome car!!
So shut the car off while you're refueling like what 99.9999% of the driving population do without crying about it. I think you and your family will survive the 3 minutes it takes to fill it up. Geez.
great info! curious to know, what octane have you been feeding her?
I have not been running the “premium octane” ;) I save that for my high performance cars. Just 87 octane in the cx90. Premium is Not really needed IMO since I typically daily it on EV only.
The slowing down during turns while using ACC is a Mazda thing I think. I have a ‘18 Mazda 6 and it does the same thing in turns when using ACC. I think it’s related to the Skyactiv G software that’s built into newer Mazdas.
Wipers are not designed for anyone to leave in up position. That would prematurely wear down wiper motors.
Nice video. Considering one of these for the wife/family because of the great lease deals currently on them. Also from Iowa and vehicle would be used 90% of the time in and around Des Moines and the suburbs.
I bought mine and there were too many little annoyances that added up so I sold it back to Mazda. If you can get a screaming lease deal on it maybe you can overlook some of those issues. At the very least I would make sure you get the Premium Plus so you can at least get power folding mirrors and a Touchscreen with Apple Car Play. ua-cam.com/video/sGaJcVSGztA/v-deo.html
@@premiumoctane93 how did the dealership treat you on the buy back? No hit, light hit or heavy hit?
other than that good review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Did you use premium fuel to get 25mpg? I heard that premium fuel gets better mpg.
I did not, that mpg was with 87
22mpg at 83mph seems low, were you using recharge mode?
No I was not
PPremium!that is good ~ peace out. :)
Thanks !
The fueling up does not bother me. Technically you are supposed to have your vehicle off when getting gas. Most gas stations have warning signs saying that. Although it has never made much sense to me. Turning off and taking the key with you be wise anyway to prevent theft of the vehicle. As far as the intuitive cruise control braking/slowing when on interstate highway mine... does that exact same thing and it is super annoying and somewhat dangerous. I took mine back to the dealership last week complaining about that issue and they have it and won't let me get the vehicle back as they say it's a safety issue.
Everything I have read so far is the cruise thing is normal for Mazda and some other vehicles…. If this is true then adaptive cruise should not be in these cars IMO
@@premiumoctane93 Do you mean it is normal in other Mazda models? I had a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder that has the intuitive cruise control and used it on this same trip numerous times and it has never done that. Once the Mazda even braked/slowed when there was a concrete median and there was a slight turn. No vehicle in front just a median to the left of the actual pavement. We have a Tesla too that has never done this and has the adaptive cruise (aka on basic autopilot). When I was purchasing this vehicle one of the things I really wanted was adaptive cruise control because we go on a lot of trips for my kids sports teams. Most trips are 200-450 miles. So having had that on the Nissan I got used to having such a nice feature. Now its basically useless if Mazda cant fix it.
@@dougwhite2512 yes heard that it does it on other Mazda models. My explorer and tesla never did that although the tesla has the dreaded phantom breaking occasionally.
This is your wife 😘 and no I do not agree it is definitely not comfortable for long distance.
I'm currently in the process of selling my Tesla model 3 to get the CX90.
Yikes… cx90 didn’t go well for me, sold it back within 3 months and I bought a model 3
I’m confused about the PHEV’s gas mileage. There’s no way you were only getting 25-28 mpg with this system. That’s literally the gas mileage of the regular CX90. Something’s not adding up here.
That was the mpg when completely out of EV. Numerous fill ups on gas only and you truly only average 26mpg or so doing 80MPH when using the gas only engine
@@premiumoctane93 Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.
You had a lot of overreactive, nitpicky complaints. The CX-90 looks pretty awesome to me
Its bad, super bad. I would not recommend it.
CX9 is the same way
Most states require you, by law, to shut the engine off prior to pumping fuel.
You are ignorant about gasoline and gasoline fumes.
The guy bought Tesla and then Hybrid both tech based cars then proceeded to complain everything about them, I don’t think future is for you. Learn to make compromise for benefits.
I went straight back to tesla after two months of misery owning the cx90. Tesla is the future for me at least.
@@premiumoctane93I test drove a new model 3 redesigned version, hate to say it, it's the future.
@@derrekb4501 I bought a 2023 RWD model 3 and love it. I was thinking about getting a new model 3 performance when it comes out. I have an order in for a cybertruck and will continue to enjoy the model 3 until that arrives.
“I’m an aggressive driver” therefore I don’t need to signal lane changes? You lose all credibility with a comment like that. The useful content regarding poor highway mpg when not recharging is defeated by your complaints about the LKAS and the appropriate fuel tank access restrictions. You should re-visit a driver training course, methinks !
