WOW! I have to know what the intent is for this???

I managed right at 40 mpg coming back from the FM summer camp year ago (driving across eastern Colorado and western Kansas). I know Jeremy tweaked my tune for something while I was there, but not for lean cruise. Made it from Limon, CO to Junction City, KS on one tank...which included getting pulled over.

The stock ECU in the MSM is the biggest POS I have driven. It holds the car back as long as it can until it unleashes what can only be described as the after burner. Throttle transitions feel disconnected and it had pockets of hesitation. The best part is once you add some parts to open up the breathing it just amplifies the problem by 10x. I really need to install my eMS2.

I just checked my mileage, and it's pushing 28-30. That's driving like a moonshiner, bouncing off the limiter several times a week at least. I do about 50/50 city/highway. I'm sure I could top 30 if I was gentler, but what's the fun in that?

Granted, I drive almost all city but I don't think I ever did much more than 25 MPG in my '94 even when it was stock. Then again, I am generally an automatic ~20% reduction in fuel economy in any car I drive due to an... enthusiastic driving style.

I actually noticed the same: I would get 26-28mpg consistently and driving like a grandma shifting at 2500 never going past like 10-20% throttle and all that has never actually given me any significant mpg increases.
I wonder how much MS would increase economy on an otherwise bone stock 01

Depends, I've gained almost 2 mpg a a couple different stockish cars by just tuning their stock DFCO settings to be much more aggressive. No idea how aggressive the miata ones are, they certainly dont feel aggressive at all. Then you can normally eek out a couple more mpg by turning cruise spark to mbt on the dyno, more if you switch to lean cruise. I cant comment about the effects of this in a miata.
