just a bit of a difference, like 4-6mpg. i was just saying in general thats not always the case. for example, the 06 Mustang GT, 03 Eclipse GTS, and My miata, the miata was getting around 24 highway last time i drove it(pre MS), the Mustang was getting between 22-26mpg, and the eclipse gets 26-29. so my 4cyl actually does worse than both a V6 and a V8.
Edit: and just for lolz my 02 Ranger gets 14-19mpg

21/30 vs 17/26 seems significant enough to me.


My point was that the turbo car makes better mpg, but 90 less hp

You are also comparing a car from 1992 with a car that is 11 and 14 years newer.

I got 32mpg turbo'ed (GT2560 @ 11psi) all the while beating the ---- out of my miata. MS ftw.
