Just to get my last quip in here, I still can average 35MPG on the interstate with 330whp on a turbo setup (Calculated using Trip A between fill ups and fuel dispensed into my tank from the gas pump readout). Being able to deliver or use more fuel =/= actually using it.
From a manufacturer spec though, it would mean worse fuel economy overall because the average drive has poor pedal control or restraint and their EPA estimate needs to reflect that.
Sorry, I'll stop defending turbo builds now. In this thread.
