With EPA fuel economy ratings of 21 or 22 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway, the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata is about as fuel-efficient as most mid-size sedans. In all, that doesn't make it especially green, but it's not nearly as wasteful as most sports cars.

Highway ratings are rather low for a 2.0-liter four, but they are what they are because of rather low gearing that keeps the engine revving on the highway.

Conclusion

The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata is greener than most sports cars.
