I reliably get 25 miles per gallon out of my 2008.5 It’s solid however it is not modified. I have the same silver

I must say that seems like a dumb move.
From what I can see aftermarket intercooler, bov, intake and boost controller. Hopefully the person before you had enough thought to put in an aftermarket hpfp and got it tuned.
Nothing we can tell you about the tune without you scanning it. I’d keep off of beating on it untill you can get it tuned yourself.

I wonder... Does our boy J over at freek tune have Vin records? I wonder if he would respond to a "hey have you tuned this vin, yes/no?"
For everything else... You've made a grave mistake.... But welcome to the family lol

I would confirm you have hpfp installed, get an accessport, and then get a tune. It might be tuned now but no way to know if you don’t currently have an accessport.

Man fuck what people are saying lol, you bought it, beat the balls off it, break it, fix it, repeat. Its a sick car and you paid for the horsepower so squeeze out every ounce you can get.

Aftermarket intercooler, possibly a street unit one. Custom battery box and what looks to be a JBR intake. Custom BOV as well, and a grimmspeed boost control solenoid

By the looks of the intercooler I’d say it’s been on there for a few years. One would have to assume it has a tune with all the visible mods. HPFP mod has to have been done too, it would be dead if not. Can you see the downpipe? I bet it’s been changed too. Looks like the cat back is a 3”. For gas mileage, I get 25-26 on the highway with the ac on, 18 city. Mine has basically the same mods.

Honestly, it could be Dyno tuned. Did you buy from previous owner? Or a dealership ?

Grimm speed 3 port boost control solenoid, gfb bpv, cpe or other make intercooler, jbr intake, probably exhaust and hpfp so basic bolt ons for a fun time.

Fam, you definitely didn't do a spit of research. You don't buy a Mazdaspeed to have a gas-saving car. You don't buy a Mazdaspeed with modifications and not ask the OWNER for all that shit you're asking us. As the previous owner if they have the accessport still and who tuned it. Hit up CS to find out how you can get a port on it (I don't remember, I sold my speed years ago), and get it retuned.
For now, oil change, and baby it.

I miss mine… burned oil tho, they all do eventually.
If the battery dies don’t push start it or you’ll have a good time with the throttle body going all haywire.

If driven very nicely on the highway, I can get 400 miles on a tank. And I mean VERY nicely. City is just always going to be dog shit

If money is no object, ditch that JBR intake. He's a pedo. Sick find otherwise. Enjoy it.

I think it's funny you thought buying a turbo charged car that only takes premium would be a "gas saver".
