I assume the US model is heavier due to the 5mph bumpers and the gazillion airbag system thats fitted here.
I am geeked over the 500's 1.4L multi air engine. The head design and multiair valve acuation system is novel and a real gem, and I would think capable of getting higher mpg numbers.
Remove a few lbs of curb weight, tweak that multi air system, and hypermile drive it, and you might have a 50mpg runner...
Or just say screw it and find an old Geo Metro XFi lol.
