If that is part of the package with the 1.0 Ecoboost in the US, we could see our first car that meets the new 40 MPG combined standard (54.5 CAFE MPG) without hybrid technology.

The most fuel efficient cars today, non-hybrid or diesel, get a combined 33 MPG with highway numbers ranging from 38 to 42, and one of those is the Ford Fiesta. I would expect the mileage to be about 10% better, so perhaps 35 MPG combined with a highway mileage north of 40 MPG. Time will tell.
