Considering its size, weight, and the use of an off-the-shelf engine, it's still quite eco if you compare it to other cars designed with a similar purpose in mind. and let's suppose that a sole commuter had the chance to fit one with a wider-ratio transmission, it would be still more efficient than a regular compact car fitted with the very same drivetrain in the same operating scenario.
