Yeah, I know. The Norwegian population is a drop in the ocean, but tought Id share some numbers either way to put things into perspective. 
Here is the Norwegian average CO2 emissions for all car manufacturerers on new cars sold between January-September 2012. Only Porsche and Jeep have an average that is worse than the GT86 (if you look away from a couple of car manufacturers who only sold 1-4 cars).
Here is the average CO2 consumption from low output cars:
I know the stripped out version of the BRZ without LSD "only" have 159g CO2. Which is not bad for a 2l NA car. But with the final ratio of the LSD (big increase in consumption?), and the resistanse of the LSD (a little increase) , and a little extra weight (minimal increase) it goes up to 188g CO2. And by looking at that number, it is not impressive.
Need to see a lightweight 1,6l turbo or smaller displacement engine in this car to improve fuel efficiency. |
Emissions are not directly linked to fuel economy, but, good info.
Lean burn engines gave incredible fuel economy, but have alot of emissions.
