Take the amount of gas to top off the second tank and divide that into the number of miles you went. That's the most accurate MPG you'll get. With the automatic, you'll probably get about 20MPG in mixed driving if you don't drive it too hard.
Yeah, continue driving it until the fuel light comes on and you'll eventually be replacing the fuel pump. Check out the #3 post. MX-5 has been a PT guru around here for a long time.

Figure your mpg with at least 5 fillups. 1-2 tanks is a joke and not very accurate.
