Mazda MX-5 Miata sets lap records with sustainable fuel on cross-U.K. trip
cars. The Miata was powered exclusively Sustain, an eFuel made by a British company named Coryton. Sustain was created entirely from agricultural waste, Mazda says, using straw and crop byproducts unfit for consumption.
The weeklong roadtrip consisted of stops at Anglesey Circuit in Wales, Oulton Park in England, Knockhill in Scotland and Kirkistown in Northern Ireland. Even including the pace-setting laps, the Miata returned 45.6 mpg. By contrast, the same 2.0-liter Miata is rated at a combined 40.9 mpg in the U.K. driving cycle, sans hot laps. In the U.S, the Miata is rated at just 29 combined mpg. Perhaps just as importantly, the Mazda was able to perform with no impact on performance or reliability.
Mazda is the first OEM to join the European Union's eFuel Alliance, an organization promoting sustainable fuels for a variety of applications, from maritime to aviation. Companies like
