I don't see why with a little engineering we couldn't see a 30mpg turbo 6 cylinder motor pushing over 300hp? Just an idea.
well 3 mpg more isn't hard to do put it in a lighter car with a slightly taller gear ratio and bam the 3.6 DI would get over 30 mpg if you drove it at 65 mph rather then 80. so why turbo charge for only 30 mpg? why not 40?
