Great fuel analysis. Simple thing but often overlooked. Takes comparable vehicles with a big consumption delta and that isn't always going to be in play, but when it is, doing this analysis is very helpful. Think as well, typically ownership is 5 years ($700 * 5 = $3,500). For the consumer, that money can essentially be used to justify going up another trim level on the more fuel efficient vehicle
This is a good review. I wonder why so few views on RU-vid compared to other car reviewers. Keep up the good work. Try putting a bit of humor or some sarcasm on your scripts it makes the review experience a bit more memorable
You have one of the few reviews that really focuses on the fuel savings. So many other reviews focus on the space ( or relative lack thereof… and I do mean RELATIVE because the Mazda has enough space for most families) but not on the huge fuel savings. Despite the performance and handling advantages of the CX-90 the fuel savings put the Mazda over the top for me. Also in the real world the Palisade ( and its corporate cousin the Kia Telluride) are almost always marked up $4,000.00 dollars or more over MSRP. I paid under MSRP for my CX-90 PHEV.
