That simply isn't true. As a general rule the smaller the engine you are
comparing a turbo may reduce overall mpg. On larger engine where
induction losses dominate a turbo can increase economy. It really isn't
safe to make such a blanket statement.

Go on then. Give some real world figures.

And example of the same engine with turbo and without where the turbo unit
gives better MPG at cruise.

Your goal posts have changed, your claim was, "petrol engines are never
as good as a larger NA unit of the same output".

You're the one who made such a claim, and as usual have no evidence to
back up this blanket statement.
