Couldnt help commenting on this, but is that 39 l/100 km? Wasn't this supposed to be something like 3l /100 km? Even with very enthusiastic driving ,39 seems very poor mileage .

I was told that was the indicator of "current average fuel consumption" and it had been that high because they had high revved the 3-cyl engine in idle several times to present the raw engine sound (@ high revs) to the audience. Therefore such a surrealistic fuel consumption figure since the 3-cyl internal combustion engine had been in use for high-revving only @ that time.

It's not like the fuel consumption is that poor in real life when actually driving the car around. The trip computer had just recored the "current average consumption" during the high-revving episodes. That's it.
