The lightness is one of the things I like about it too. Mazda seems serious about trimming the fat off its cars.

Hmm. There's only 1 engine choice in Australia for the 2: 1.5L, rated at 6.4L/100 km or 37 mpg (US) combined. (On whatever test cycle they have - who knows.)

In the U.K., it's offered with 3 gasoline engines and 1 diesel. The diesel is rated at 57 mpg (US) combined (on whatever their test cycle is).
