This car is one year newer but has the same engine.
I exchanged drives with the other owner and he was incredulous at how smoothly my engine revved, despite just under 150k miles (which I will hit this week). His Miata felt faster, some of which is due to very lightweight wheels, but there was a coarseness that I remember my Miata had, but which is now basically gone. And I think the amount of coarseness I had was greater than in this lower mileage Miata.
The other owner said he had driven many Miatas over the years and had never found one with a motor that revved so smoothly. I told him about the MoS2 and while he's pretty skeptical, I think he might try it when his Miata comes out of storage next spring.
My fuel economy is back down, averaging right around 28 MPG. The weather has gotten colder, and driving through the heavy rains that we have had definitely takes a toll on fuel economy, as does running with those huge pop-up headlights acting like parachutes. I'm also driving much aggressively.
I'm going to do some significant maintenance this coming winter, and I'll get some more compression numbers at that time.
I'm glad it's working for you. It's nice that you were able to compare the same model car against your own. I've found Mos2 to work quite well in spite of some people's claims that it will clog filters(not true).
I'm glad its working for him too. As far as the clogged filters go, I haven't personally seen one yet, and I've used quite a bit of MoS2.
I agree with you, nothing but a myth(at least with LM Mos2) and has NEVER been proven.
