Does gas mileage really get better on a new car the longer you drive it?

Probably not. It might get a tiny bit better in the first few miles (probably under the first 100 miles) as the engine and gearing first wears in. But with today's cars I doubt it is noticeable.
There definitely isn't going to be an improvement after the first oil change.

Drive Slower for Better Gas Mileage?
This easiest way to squeeze the most mileage out of a gallon of gas is simply to drive slower. Aerodynamic drag increases significantly as speed increases. For example, the air resistance acting against your car at 70 miles per hour is twice as much as the air resistance at 50 miles per hour. So, drive slower for better gas mileage.

Which is better Honda crv or Mazda cx5 which gets better gas mileage?
I would recommend the Honda CRV but the Mazda CX5 is also an excellent vehicle. The fuel mileage for both vehicles is about the same in the real world. Drive them both and see which one you like. After all it is your money and what you like is what really counts. You will not go wrong with either vehicle.

From what I have seen, people usually average 28-31 in mixed driving. Some people do worse, some do better. It all depends on where you drive and how you drive. They are pretty comparable to a Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla as far as mileage is concerned.
Do manual transmission cars or trucks really get better gas mileage and cost less to maintain than automatics?
Two things - repairs cost less on manuals because all you're really dealing with is a clutch instead of a whole transmission and manuals typically get better gas mileage than an automatic because you are in full control of the gear you're in.Most definitely! They are better all the way around. Esp. when it comes to repairs. Learning to drive a stick just takes practice.This all depends on the driver. Yes, a manual transmission does cost less to replace. A manual transmission has the availibility of better gas mileage depending on the drivers decision to run a higher gear whenever possible. Higher gear = better gass mileage, less acceleration....less fun .
