Get 30mpg no matter how I drive it. Make a 1990 with modern mods, and put the new motor in it getting 150hp and with the proper gearing, it should get 50mpg. what ever, don't lose what the Miata has now, and in the past. It is so much fun to drive. Too bad the 2000cc Honda motor isn't in it. That would make it the perfect sports car. I have a 1990 that weighs less than that,with the 1600 motor.

You can't double or triple fuel efficiency by making a few tweaks. At best it's 10% for the weight savings and 10% for the engine mods. It doesn’t pass the smell test.

Are they going to bump up the price to match that mileage as everyone else is too? On another note, what will the cost be?

When will the company say which mileage is correct? That's a hell of a difference and for me, I'd be actually interested at 70, not so much at 50 (I drive a 2000 Insight).
