Brake specific fuel consumption (the amount of fuel consumed per unit of power) of a turbo is far better than any NA engine, that's why they rule the LeMans 24hr ;)
In other words Turbos have better fuel economy than NA engines that produce the same amount of power. :wink:
Ha ha... fair enuff! :lol:
Yes. For the same power output, the forced induction route will be more fuel efficient.
I should've been more specific...

turbo = 200% efficiency
s/c = 90%
supercharger takes power to make power, but i prefer that whine anyday... instant boost ftw
