The new Honda Civic comes in a 1.5 turbo and a 2.0 NA, the turbo being the heavier package--but which still delivers higher mpgs. And if the turbo has more efficiency due to less internal friction, that still creates more useful energy out of the same amount of fuel, no?

Efficiency being equal, you'll get more mileage from an electric car, because it can get back some energy from regenerative breaking, and it definitely has less internal friction.
