turbo vehilces generally use LESS fuel

turbo + (more torque @ lower RPM) = less work for engine / (engine working less not using as much fuel) x neggly difference you'll find in your N/A engine, and not worth the extra two bob per litre. :doubt:

Generally speaking a turbo car IS MORE efficient than an N/A car.

The problem is the lead foot of the driver. Quick acceleration = lotsa fuel :)

Speaking of turbos, can you tell me how much it costs to fit one (or two? :)
