Boeing says the MAX will burn 20 percent less fuel than first 737NGs, which were rolled out nineteen years ago this week, on December 2nd.
Boeing says the MAX will have an 8 percent lower operating cost than Airbus’ A320neo family, thanks to fuel efficiency and maintenance advantages.

It's easy to build something with Year X technology that is ahead of everyone else's product that uses Year X-5 technology, including your own.
Besides, if I had an airline mile for every time a company made a prediction for a future product two years ahead of that product's availability, only to discover in the harsh light of day that their predictions were just a tad off, I'd have more miles than Ryan Bingham. And I don't mean the singer.

On the subject of the 737 Max:

Boeing Co said on Wednesday it was working to deliver its new 737 MAX single-aisle aircraft ahead of schedule next year, provided the company can complete testing on time and customers are ready to receive it.
"It's a little early to raise the victory flag at this point on early deliveries," Boeing Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith told an investor conference organised by Cowen and Co. "But we are focused on that. And if we can do it, and our customers can accommodate it, we will."
