I dont get the fuel saving idea of a FI engine. I have onwed a couple and i have always gotten better mileage out of my NA cars. And they also aren't perfect in the delivery as you can feel the boost coming on and off making the pedal response very... Inorganic.

I once had a peugeot 207 turbo and my old clio sport kicked its ass in every front with outstanding mileage

I also currently have an N52 130i and is better that the 2.0 ecoboost taurus i have as a company car. That thing drinks petrol like mad and even trying harder it wont give more than 25mpg whereas my N52 marvel does almost 30 if I care.

So all that bs about mpg is just inflated numbers as real world fuel economy numbers are very bad for FI engines.
