I would like to make my point again because you guys seem to be only talking about highway mileage. A turbo does increase the area of the BSFC map where you get peak BSFC. This is proven. At the very least, in CITY driving this will undoubtly help increase the likelyhood that the average joe (who doesn't even know what BSFC is) will drive within that area. Therefore, the turbo will increase fuel economy.
