However, the lpt engine is more efficient than the injection (non-turbo) engine. But in general, the ECU makes the engine quite efficient. I get between 30 and 40 mpg (UK) for my 1993 9000 CSE 2.0 lpt for a mixture of rural and distance driving. Hence, consumption is good for the size and power of car, you won't find much better unless you choose a diesel of one of the modern Variable Valve Timing engines.
