Just for the sake of discussion I was wondering how a turbocharged gas large displacement engine might run vs a turbodiesel.
I had a 454 gas engine on a service truck and it averaged about 9 mpg....empty or fully loaded.
I imagine that you could regulate the boost to get these engines into the 4 to 500 h.p. range (unless you turn it up to the point of turning the crank blue) and get somewhat similar performance to the high h.p. diesels.
Thoughts??
