Okay now that I see the Japanese test cycle, it is no wonder that the 4.1 diff doesn't appear to hurt mpg. At speeds that low the fuel consumption is so low that the bulk of the fuel consumption happens in acceleration.

Oh my bad, I didn't notice you could scroll to the right lol. But ^^^ still holds.

City driving this car should be fantastic due to light weight. Sorry if I come off as whiny or something, but it bothers me a lot that the cruising BSFC appears to be 320-350g/kwh rather than 270-300. A sizeable difference for those with long commutes that adds up to hundreds of dollars a year.
