Golf gti 1.8t 20v (180) averages 35mpg
honda integra type R 1.8 vtec averages 31mpg
the golf is a turbo, if a low rpm turbo was fitted onto the integra, would the fuel consumption increase ?? or would you need to make the gears longer ??
but then again, it is also said that fuel economy is reduced while on boost, which you would be with a low rpm turbo driving around the street. would the fuel economy decrease if the turbo in the GTI was swapped with a bigger one that doesn't produce boost around normal driving rpm??
and another question, which method consumes less fuel, feathering at lower gear, or going full throttle at a higher gear ??
