@fourtydays
remember, this is a manufacturer claim for the highway fuel consumption - in Europe manufacturers can publish their own fuel consumption figures; if it comes in US, I bet the fuel rating is going to be south of 35mpg (highway), which is equivalent to a gasoline consumption of 31mpg, normal for a gasoline engine rated at 170hp; I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this engine is not going to bring anything new.

This is incorrect. Each European country's Government runs its own official performance, emissions and fuel economy figures which a manufacturer has to then quote in its published material for any model it sells. In turn these are regulated by the EU.
