Dirty looks from gas guzzler drivers
#11
Whats a good mpg for a two seater roadster?? A current gen miata only gets like 28-30 hwy right? For some reason most peopl thinks I should be getting 40+mpg though...I guess they assume small engine + light car = amazing gas mileage??

You can get well over 30mpg even in an AP1 combined city/hwy... If you know how to drive it
Mostly I'm giving the monstrous vehicle drivers the dirty looks, as they fill up, on their cell phone, with their 1.5 kids in the back of the vehicle that seats 9 adults.

I got 28.5 with an AP1 on my first attempt - about 50/50 city/hwy - and that didn't even involve keeping it under 65 or some of the more advanced hypermiling techniques. Also running Z-rated wide tires and UK alignment with the top down...
