Results of the first fillup are posted. I expect these numbers will improve as the engine and drive train break in. This is my wife driving. She is a pedal-masher at heart, but even she cannot help but do well with this drive train combo. The dual dry clutch (no torque converter) setup disengages while coasting and at traffic stops, taking the load off the engine while idling. The 6 gear ratios keep the engine working in a good power band. The engine also has variable valve timing, which also increases efficiency. Even my wife will save fuel with this setup.
