Weight has less impact on the highway rating. Impacts the city much more so.
I'm sceptical about them dropping 200 pounds ANNNND adding a IRS as well as the reported European market discussion.
So adding 20 HP to the current V6 and getting 4 mpg more is a stretch. Not saying it isn't possible, just asking that you compare to the current mid size cars getting 34/35 today. If it were simply the powertrain then everyone of those midsize cars would have tubos to get even better mpg.
