Here is an update on my original query. On a fill up I put on 476kms/297.5 miles and with 8 imperial gallons/37L I averaged 37mpg (Canadian). One third of the distance was highway driving (100 - 110km/h) the rest city driving. I am quite impressed - especially in light of the fact she's coming close to
270,000 kilometers.I love my Miata
I've got to admit that the Miata's mileage is about the same as our 96 Chevy Caprice Classic with a 350 Cui V8. (It's the ideal car to wipe out all the cones on an autocross course.). Measured range on one tank of gas. ~550 miles, and goes up if 91-93 octane is used.
Count smiles per gallon.
