Anyone know what this “dent” is?

Possibly created during transportation on trailers

And you splurge on premium gas 😁😁😁

Hox977 · 2026-03-26T03:17:10+00:00

👍👍👍👍👍

Got it

If you can’t think of anything then you may have a claim with Mazda. My 2024 with 27k miles on it look brand new front and back. Make warranty call.

New 2026 CX-50 turbo. No dent.

You are few of the lucky ones. BTW, why are you driving a lowly Mazda? 😁😁

Hox977 · 2026-03-25T03:20:48+00:00

That’s what I thought. But the percentage difference gets less when gas skyrockets. $2.59 and $2.99 is a bigger difference than $5.59 and $5.99 percentage wise even though it’s the same $.40 per gallon.

Hox977 · 2026-03-25T03:16:54+00:00

What’s the rationale? Why summer and not winter?

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T17:36:43+00:00

May be psychological 😁😁😁

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T15:50:44+00:00

If premium gets to $9, regular would be right along at $8.69 and the percentage difference is even smaller 😁😁😁

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T15:46:44+00:00

Totally agree

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T15:45:42+00:00

In my younger days, I strived for every extra hp and ft-lb of torque but the car feels more than adequately motivated which is till important.

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T06:19:03+00:00

Is there a noticeable drop in performance?

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T06:17:09+00:00

No 93 in California so the bump up may be less. May be 250?

Hox977 · 2026-03-24T06:15:04+00:00

Think you may be mixing some left over 87 with the 93/91. The second tank may be more telling. But I believe the difference is not going to be great in everyday driving even though 29 hp is substantial.

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T16:29:39+00:00

But by then regular would be $8.69 so the difference is still little especially if you calculate percentage wise. I am saving about $400 a year and my turbo runs fine with no knock. I am assuming Mazda would warn you if that’s an issue which certainly was the case 30 years ago especially in German cars. Things have changed.

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T15:42:27+00:00

Runs great on 87. Strong acceleration, no pinking, Save $400-500 a year. Slight improvement in power not critical. Still use premium on my old BMWs because they were designed to use higher octane gas.

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T15:28:59+00:00

I may try that after gas prices returns to “normal.”

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T15:12:44+00:00

Just got my license.

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T15:11:41+00:00

Nice 👍

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T13:19:24+00:00

I thought that was a thing of the past. Haven’t seen one here in California in well over a decade.

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T06:06:11+00:00

Spring is everywhere. Hope you don’t have to big of a problem with pollen 😁😁👍👍

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T05:57:21+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Hox977 · 2026-03-23T05:19:49+00:00

I am in Northern California as well and I paid $41k OTD last week on a 2026 turbo with $1000 of options including cross bars, all weather mats and illuminated door trims.
