    with the manual I presume you didn't have an issue with the car hunting gears in eco mode as it might do with the automatic. It would be interesting to hear how it reacts.

    How does the car sound running on 4 cylinders?

    Ah, UCA, almost went there, mostly because of a girl. Memories... Anyway I never considered Conway small (but not big either), but compared to what you guys are used to it probably is.

    @adamb1 good Q. Editors, any comments? Does the Stingray stay quiet like a touring car when cruising in eco? Engine sound? Tire and wind noise?

    Cant believe those low RPMs. In top (5th) gear at 65 my Miata is turning well over 3K.

    @adamb1, @noburgers: we cover a little more about the V4/V8 switch in one of the forthcoming posts. But no, there's no gearbox hunting with the manual in Eco. No throttle resistance or other unwelcome governance that some Eco modes deliver.

    Instant Fuel Econ...41 mpg. Uh,ok. The car is rated at 29 mpg highway. Go for a range run and see if you can get 500-600 miles on one 18.5 gallon tank. That would be interesting.

    @stovt001 - Dude, you must not live in the Nascar south like me. We have 70 mph limits and everyone goes 80+, so I'm humming around 4400 RPM in my 2000 LS. :)

    "That's a reasonable strategy with a supercharged 5.0-liter that ranged about as far as a sumo wrestler playing shortstop."

    LOLOLOL!
