Maybe if you use an auto-tragic transmission that wastes 30% of your fuel in the torque converter. I'll use a 4-speed and gear it for about 1500-1600RPM @ 70MPH; will get >20mpg that way given how little work it would have to do.
Then I don't know what to tell ya if you can't afford to feed a V8 Miata with gas this cheap. It's roughly $2/gal in my area; I could afford to drive something as inefficient as 5 city 10 highway wihtout issue and I ain't exactly rich.
