Stop-start technology

Stop-start technology could make an appearance as well. Mazda says its system, called i-stop, is good for a 10% fuel economy improvement in big cities.

The hurdle is EPA testing, which doesn't account for the system's benefits. Mazda and other automakers are in talks with the EPA, seeking an addendum to fuel economy ratings.

2016 Gasoline engines

Mazda is planning a 30% fuel economy increase across its lineup by 2016 through new engines, transmissions, and weight reduction, the automaker announced at a press event in Monterey.

Mazda 2016 Gasoline engines

With its next-generation 2.0L gasoline engine and six-speed automatic, Mazda plans to match the fuel economy of its current diesel powertrain. Seita Kanai, Mazda's research and development head, is looking at 32 mpg city and 42 mpg highway from the new engine, up from the current engine's 22/32 mpg, Automotive News reports.

Mazda 6 2.2D

The company says that the new diesel engine will be able to deliver fuel economy equivalent to that of the current Mazda 2 in a car that's the size of the Mazda 6.

If these improvements translate into the actual mpg achieved by production models, then they should boost the fuel economy of the Mazda 6 2.2D to an average of around 60mpg.

Unfortunately, Mazda buyers are going to have to wait to see the improvements, because production versions of the SKY-G and SKY-D engines won't be launched until 2011.
