Well, the MR2 Spyder weights less than 1000 kg and the 1KR-FE has a forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods and only 10:1 compression ratio.
So with some forced induction it could possibly reach the 143 PS of a 1ZZ-FED with a better powerband and less weight.
But given the ridiculously low CDA of the MR2 Spyder, wich only gets lower with a hardtop and even lower than that with my mods, it should yield some 3L/100 km when on proper economy tires.
