I care about gasoline consumption since it impacts my disposable income and the environment.
I don't understand why a Rav 4 V6 (burning regular gas) gets better MPG than the 335XI ? Yes BMW is high performance and higher power but you would think that the turbo would achieve that and only impact MPG when you push it.

There is way too much to discuss in terms of internal combustion engineering to even get into in this thread that would explain why a certain V6 has better MPG then a TT I6. But, to simplify......less performance generally will get you better fuel economy. That is why the Prius doesn't have stellar times. That said if your primary concern is MPGs, go with a smaller more efficient engine.
