Am I alone in thinking that these cars should be rated at least 25 city and 35 highway, at the absolute minimum? I mean, a freaking BMW 328i is a boat compared to the FT86, yet it has the same city fuel economy rating and gets 4 more mpg on the highway.
Maybe I'm being too critical, but I honestly thought that such a small and lightweight car would be more fuel efficient, especially with a 2.0 engine that makes modest power.

Try to rev that 328i all the time, i'm sure you will get a lot worse miles then twins.
NEW Miata is really easy on gas but that's a 1.6.... if you look @ NC... our gas mileage is better...
