Turbo's make there living by shoving extra air into the cylinders to
burn more gas. Turbo gas motors are for performance, not fuel
economy. Iv'e come to terms to this years ago with when I got a
turbo 505, and discovered the secret to fantastic gas
milage......DON'T DRIVE THEM. Take transit, bike, hell, we can all
use the exercise, while our turbo's get some rest.
I go through a tank of fuel a month, so I can care less how
expencive fuel gets.
