I'd argue that these are not exactly fuel efficient engines.
However in case of the 1KR-FE the valvetrain was a pretty simplistic DOHC with variable valve timing on one cam.
No hydraulic valve lash adjustment, no variable lift and no variable duration.
If my 1ZZ-FED blows again, I might drop in a 1KR-FE for ****s, giggles and superior fuel economy.
That little engine got me 3,5L/100km in a not very aerodynamic car.
I wonder what it would do in my spyder, especialy if I actualy ran tires with a fuel economy rating better than F
