I've never seen a turbocharged car which gets even comparable mileage to a nonturbocharged car under the same specifications YET. Even if the total package may be a little better (like the Chevy Cruze Eco using it to pull higher gears) I would assume if you deactivated the turbocharger that even though you couldn't drive under normal habits, it might actually improve mileage assuming you didn't normally see hills and such anyways.


On that subject I was wondering, why not have a turbo bypass built in? Then it's there when you felt you needed it, and could be cut out when you were in Eco mode. I can't think of any downside not to except the expense of the turbo if it's added on and not stock.
