For boosted engines you use .6 ie they take more fuel per given hp. That said they do idle/ part throttle more efficiently due to less idle vacuum. And no I would rather have a hamster in a wheel than a 4 cyl. engine turbo or otherwise.
Which is what AFM does, but for way less money, and without losing cylinders.

Well played.

For the record, given a choice between a V8, I'd prefer a V8 without AFM to one with. However, recognizing that cannot happen with CAFE and EPA ratings having to go up, I prefer an AFM V8 to a TTV6, given those are the only two choices.
