Good point Veyron. For the same reason it will also affect the FE. I guess the days of featherweight cars are over.
PS: Some of the performance can be recovered in gearing but I doubt Maruti will do that because it will kill FE further. They need to come out with new tech like Honda's I-dsi if they want to maintain FE.
