I don't daily the MX-5, but put a fair number of kilometers on it with road trips, weekend outings, and (more recently) towing.
Last Monday I took it on a 5 hour drive pulling a large cargo trailer, to pick up some furniture. It was extremely competent, and averaged ~7.1L/100km or 33mpg, traveling at speed of around 80-90kph with the trailer.
On a recent road trip, with a cargo carrier attached to the back of the car, and an average speed of 100kph, it averaged 5.3-6.0L/100km, or 39-44mpg.
I have a few very small mods planned for it in the immediate future: LED turn signals, DVD player delete, a partial grille block, and when I do eventually need tires, something a little less aggressive.
