Does Turbocharging Save Fuel?
1 Answers
Turbocharged models do not save fuel; they simply deliver stronger power output. Here are the relevant details: 1. Overview: Compared to naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement, turbocharged engines consume slightly more fuel. Whether fuel is saved depends on the engine's thermal efficiency and power tuning, not the turbocharger. 2. Turbocharging Principle: Within the same unit of time, it forces more air-fuel mixture into the cylinder for compression and combustion. This allows for greater power output at the same RPM compared to naturally aspirated engines.
