I love that people have to show there knowledge just to show their knowledge.

Point is the Turbo engines are more fuel efficient then their non turbo counterparts with the same power output. (Which is the same thing you just said and all I was posting about).

So yes if you would like me to rephrase I know at WOT I am not picking up the efficiency. But overall I can flog the turbo engine the same as I would the non-turbo and acheive a higher overall MPG.

Wow next time I wont make a comment without a scientific disertations and maybe a few references to the laws of physics in there as well.
