I realize that which is why its kind of goo we mopped up much of the
oil and ran it through emissions vehicles. BUT when we develop
cleaner technologies, the world will have that as an option. These
places will tire of the smog, and international recognition of carbon
increases (whether it really increases the temperature or not, its
there, why take the chance?), they will start to adopt cleaner cars
and other renewable technologies.
I don't think that China and India are hell bent to keep up with their
HIDEOUS pollution practices. I think it's a phase they will move
through. Other than their adding 1 coal plant per week, this energy
revolution will only help.
Maybe the EU will stop sending ships filled with toxic wasted to be
dumped into quarry's and jungles in Africa with unsuspecting residents
being exposed, so they can save a few pennies on the dollar of
manufacturing costs (if that).
Plant carbon capture (reinjecting into the ground) will be easy once
we start doing it and use our wealth to work out the kinks.
In my opinion this is all not guaranteed, but I can see it happening
if we pray and keep our fingers crossed. In 50 years we may be
laughing at the way we pollute now, globally.
Don't forget that technology leaves nothing to hide anymore. At all.

*Not likely. The fuel that we no longer burn here will now be burned
somewhere else (China, India, etc).*

*No idea if this would adapt to front wheels. And I can see Bill
having a conniption fit over the unsprung weight as well as 6 lead
acid batteries. So maybe this is not applicable to a Miata at
all, even a commuter Miata, but it's pretty cool just the same. I
have 2 late 90's 3cylinder Geo Metro's now (neither one ready for
the road, but close)*
*Are we having a full blown energy crisis? YES (or a better yet,
revolution)*
*Can we invent our way out of it? YES (and already have mostly,
hybrid, solar, geo warmth, wind, tidal turbines, more)*
*Will we have a CLEANER Earth? Uh huh!*
*http://www.poulsenhybrid.com/install.html*
*What does it cost ?*
*Projected approximate prices:*
Conversion kit including:
* 2 Poulsen Hybrid motors.
* Auxiliary Components and cables
* 2 brushless DC motor controllers
* 72V 120Ah Deep Cycle Lead Acid battery pack (6 batteries).
* On-board charger, 72V, 10A.
*Total $4,200
*Conversion performed by authorized facility, additional $600

In late August, Poulsen Hybrid, based in Shelton, Conn., and run
by Ulrik Poulsen, CEO of Bridgeport Magnetics, plans to offer a
$7,000 conversion kit that turns any conventional car into a
plug-in hybrid electric vehicle by mounting small electric motors
onto the rear wheels. The Poulsen system also uses a lithium-ion
battery pack and will double a car's gas mileage, says Poulsen,
the system's creator. The company hasn't released data on how far
the system will go on a single charge, but charging it would also
cost less than a dollar, he says.

The question you really need to address is this:
It takes 13hp to move the Miata down the road. How can the Miata
most efficiently make 13hp?
My best guess is that setting the fuel to leaner than stoich and
using wider throttle openings is the answer.

My understanding is, that when going for fuel mileage,
anything past Stoich is counterproductive. It reduces fuel,
but also power.
While it's trued that using more fuel (to a point) will provide
more power, the MPG will go down simply because you're using more
fuel. As I recall, testing by lots of folks has shown that
leaning out the mixture produces more power when the mixture is
too rich (primarily because we're all concerned about running too
lean, and therefore, we tune in higher fuel delivery, lower air to
fuel, than necessary.)
I think that Bill or Keith spoke about this a long time ago when
discussing dyno tuning and mixtures.
