If some one make a 1.5L, direct injection, variable cam timing engine it better get good fuel economy.
By any chance is there a comparable 1.5L non turbo, DI, variable cam engine to compare to?

Real world numbers. When I had my 2016 (which wasn't even broken in yet) I got 45mpg round trip consistently at 70mph (cruise set at 70). With the A/C on, I got 41-43.
If I boosted my Miata, I wouldn't be aiming for increased efficiency. I would be going for power. But turbo Miatas get better MPG freeway because (for those who do it right) run MS and can play with the timing/other things that increase highway MPG.
