It may have escaped your notice, but turbos on petrol engines are

are such a panacea.


I‘ve not studied the car market for a couple of years but last time I
did, smaller, lighter, turbo units were the fashion. Which
makers/models have gone back to bigger N/A?

The ones in dave's socialist utopia. Here if its not a hybrid, it
probably has a turbo unless its REALLY top end, when it will be a
supercharger.

Which is even more inefficient than a turbocharger.

I take it you know little of either, other than in your ancient 4x4 diesel?
