To whom it may concern at Mazda.

Please manufacture a turbo compound Wankel rotary engine.
The TC technology is proven in Formula 1

A turbo compound rotary, in theory, would be more efficient than a turbo compound
piston engine due to the lack of exhaust valves, that dissipate and waste
potentially useful  exhaust energy. With TC it is possible to reduce the rotary fuel burn
30% at a given HP.

Also a six or seven speed automatic manual transmission (paddle shift) would help to
lower the cruise RPM on the freeway for a further reduction in fuel burn.
No need for a 16B. Also offer this engine in the Miata.

A hybrid will not help the MPG at steady speeds on the freeway.
On the contrary it adds empty weight which causes an increase in tire
rolling resistance.

Also hybrid deprecation is high due to the limited life of batteries.
