Over the life of the car, you will save $303 in gas by deciding to go with the $1,805 extra for the turbo engine to save money on gas!
A.w.e.s.o.m.e.
Does anyone else see this is a problem?

I think you're forgetting the fact that the Turbo also has 70hp and 70tq more than the 2.5L. So they aren't comparing them purely on fuel economy.
