A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6%-8% fuel economy improvement. Carbon fiber components played a large role with a CF structural oil pan saving 30%; a CF front cover with mount saving 30%; and a carbon fiber plus aluminum cam carrier saving 20%. Forged aluminum connecting rods saved 40%.
