It seems like if you were only looking at it from ourely a financial standpoint, a turbo would be a bad choice.

You would have to weigh the options.

Yes, maybe you'll have to up the gass to premium...but if it gives you an xx difference, maybe you'll want to as oposed to only getting an x mpg difference.

If you look at the diesels in Europe, you'll see that they take advantage of turbos... Even the gas powered ones give a nice mpg difference over non turboed cars.
