Adding back to the list it looks like Mazda isn't just targeting peak thermal efficiency by using compression ignition and lean burn, they are also using it to increase thermal efficiency to a much greater amount under higher loads where a Prius would say be less efficient than a Bmw m3 (see top gear test) unless its in its peak small operation window. So it sounds like it should hit the Miata.
