I would like you to verify spark. You can get a spark tester from a local part store for less than $10. Just pull the coil off of a spark plug, put the tester in the coil, ground the coil with the clip to a clean metal surface (preferably the block), and have someone try to start the engine. Only turn the key long enough to see if you have spark at the tester, shouldn't be more than a few seconds. If you have spark, put the coil back on the plug in the engine, spray some starting fluid in the air intake and see if the engine tries to start on the fluid. If it does, then we can be mostly certain you have a fuel issue. Let me know the results of the test. You can try spraying the starting fluid before you do the spark test. If the engine doesn't try to start on the fluid, then you need to do the spark test.
I forgot to mention, the fuel filter is not serviceable. The filter is built into the fuel pump module inside the fuel tank. In order to replace the filter, you have to replace the pump. I hate when manufactures do this and I hoped Mazda would be smarter than this. Also, there is a chance your fuel gauge is not working or not working properly. Someone may have stolen your gas as well. It wouldn't hurt to pour a couple of gallons in to make sure that isn't the issue.
