Mr. Örange
Are you taking shorter trips? Are you driving harder than you normaly do? Are you running your AC? I average 13-14 MPG, but when I took a road trip last year I got 21 MPG and I get 7MPG on the track. If it's just one time I wouldn't worry too much about it.

ohhhnoooeeesssss! 
ive been unwisely ignoring a rough idle lately... and today we stalled out at a stop light. didn't die completely, i gave it some gas to bring it back to life.
soooo do i do plugs/wires/coils first, or just head straight for a dealership for CAT/compression tests? MAF is clean, but i could use a new air filter and throttlebody cleaning as well.

Hopefully you can bring them down on 8/13!
So it turns out my coolant leak is from a faulty water pump. The pump comes with the reman motors so it is covered. The dealership is ordering a new one and it should arrive Thursday.

Power!!
Either way the Mazda dealer will make you change coils plugs and wires first. So put it on your to do list in any event. You'll be able to do it cheaper than Mazda will charge you and cut it off the list right away.
