True, but there are many people who have shown that a turbo increases fuel efficiency and the efficiency of the burn when it is just barely spooling. I.e. if it "kicks in" at 3000rpm, it helps a lot with fuel at 1000-2700. Which is the range that I drive in.
It was just a thought. I've seen people turbo an old dodge dart with a slant 6 and get 30-40 mpg. Which is amazing for an old hulk like that.
