no sir. you're first post stated that japanese vehicles had fallen behind domestics in turbocharging technology and efficiency. you then you cited the ford taurus as an example, which as hoovey pointed out, averages 20 mpg combined, which is no better than today's V8 engines. i would pick a different example or i would retract that statement.
