I mean the car is also lighter than your conventional cars as well.

Yes if it is lighter and uses both direct and indirect one would assume an improvement in fuel consumption should be available for this car compared to other cars of this size. 19/27 sounds like a worst case estimate based on cars of similar class and size. One could only hope for maybe 25/33?? Tuned for regular fuel would be great too, the tuners can always up things for premium if they want! A 2012 Honda Civic Si gets 21/31(premium fuel) on a ~2900lb car with a 2.4L engine.
They have the opportunity to make these sell like hot cakes if they get price, handling, weight, power and fuel consumption right! We always knew that, question is will they deliver?
