So when you build a light, stripped down car, it gets much better mileage even though no improvements have been made to the engine.

Yeah. That’s what I said. Just not as detailed.

I hear it’s supposed to get 59 mpg. If you believe that. Then again, it’s small and light, increasing efficiency.

Actually its likely not increasing it at all. Its just that cars these days are weighed down with things like air-con and power steering and windows.
