It still blows my mind how the SR gets better gas mileage than my 2.2L camry and I drive it like a baby, why is that??? I've heard some turbos get pretty descent mileage too, is that right?

Don't talk about it - be about it! Quit bull sh*ttin' and take it apart, measure it, put it back together, dyno it, and THEN post.

well if you think about it, the first turbo cars were made for optimal economy, therefore as long as you're not driving with a lead foot it should get better gas mileage..
