How, without real world results, can something be called a gas guzzler? You can toss compression ratios and other statistics but until driving habits blend with function its just going to be a crap shoot as to how good or how bad it will be.
I have a Twin Scroll Turbo on 1.8L motor. I get well over 33 MPG on the highway in cruise non giddyup mode. Now flog that same car and I get closer to 22. Build technology has nothing to do with my results. So lets see what real world results say. Just like the GMC Terrain supposedly gets 32, but you look at real world and its no where near.
You remove the Liters to get economy back. You FI the vehicle to get the HP and "peppiness" feel to it. There is no "right" way
I think a FI diesel would be a great idea. Get the torque down low and then boost when you need that upper HP. But for some reason the US doesnt seem to be geared to accepting diesel *shrug*
