_Subject: Turbo compound_
Paul, re. the e-mails to Mazda: knowing human kind`s lazyness, how
about

turbocompound on this newsletter, together with the relevant e-mail
adress, and we can then all click and forward, effortlessly.

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.
Your name
Ok, I have done it. Mazda Japan seems to be secretive about their
e-mail address, so I did the next best: Sent it to Mazda USA. The
address is:
MazdaCustomerAssistance@mazdausa.com
<mailto:MazdaCustomerAssistance@mazdausa.com>.
If someone has a better e-mail address, please put it up here so we
can let Mazda know what they are missing out on.
Erik in Oz.
All those guys are friends of mine and they have heard it many
times before :)
Replace the xxxx.x with the name of any engineer you can find or
executives. Financial info will have names of executives.
xxxx.x@mazda.co.jp
Last name first then a period and then first initial.
