The turbo is more efficient, no question about it. The cost of the components, the time spent with the car down and the tuning software simply put it out of my reach right now 
Ty, I need EVERYTHING  and you'll be getting 50 mpg out of your new-to-you Fiesta soon, no problem! |
Last night I wrote a book response on your new scenario. After reading it back to myself I found that it was extremely confusing. So I'm going to do a Outline in the near future on how all this works.
On your new theoretical car the fuel mileage would be around 108 mpg based on the very low hp needed from the car itself, but there is a major hurdle that wouldn't let this happen.
Engine size. More on this later.
