You're not comparing the correct numbers. For this comparison, you need to look at WOT. Your car isn't making anywhere near 300hp when you're not making boost.

Do this one. I had a turbo 1.6L engine that made 205whp. It got 35mpg on the highway, but 5mpg while on a road course. For comparison. My 240sx makes 154whp, gets 26mpg on the highway and 12mpg while on a road course. Which one is more efficient?
