Reducing engine size doesn't just magically improve fuel economy. You still need to expend energy to move the same mass. This turbo 1.4 sounds very promising. I hope they come out with a wagon version. If its rated at 40mpg by the EPA, we should be able to beat that number with some careful driving. 45 or 50mpg isn't inconceivable.
