Well I was researching the OTM Dodge Neon I will probably be buying, they
have 2 liters, are 300lb heavier, with 20% more horsepower and get 50%
BETTER gas mileage (high 30’s highway)

 

I wonder if the 1.6 Miata runs rich by design or something. I mean it’s a
lighter car with smaller displacement.  Could the O2 Sensor be intercepted
top force a leaner condition for cruising?

 

Also, low rolling resistance tires would help, for plain daily driving. Yes
I know they won’t stop or turn as good so save the smart remarks and jokes,
there can be track tires for that.  ;)

At 2200lbs and 1.6 liters  this should be a 40MPG car
