Having the spark plugs kick off when the motor is able to manage without them seems a good tactic. I can see how one may need to replace the spark plugs more often, however, because their inactivity during compression combustion cycles might see a greater tendency toward gunk buildup on the points.

Too little, too late. Moribund Mazda ineffectively attempts to market to the inevitable losers of the less developed world that will be late seeing any full-electric options.

These recent increases in fuel economy across the entire industry should serve as I-told-you-so proof that the industry has ALWAYS and deliberately engineered its products to INCREASE reliance upon, and consumption of, fossil fuels.
