Hi fellow Tsikoteers. I'm just curious whether or not turbocharged engines are less fuel efficient than normally aspirated ones. Please enlighten me. TY.

July 2nd, 2005 05:26 PM #2Two reasons why they're less fuel efficient than n/a engines:
1. Lower static compression ratio
2. More fuel is wasted out of the exhaust to drive the turbo.
