- ardit33 5y agoThis is specific to small Turbo engines (eg. 1.1 l three cylinder turbo). They get great MPG ratings in official testing, but in real world usage they perform worse than a larger non-turbo counterpart (for the same amount of power/HP). Small turbos get good mpg ratings, but their real world use is different: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1109366_small-turbo-engines-get-good-mpg-ratings-real-world-use-may-be-a-different-story https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1109366_small-turbo-eng...
