NRC report finds significant number of near-term technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars

Green Car Congress

Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions. Downsizing is an important strategy applicable in combination with technologies that increase engine torque, such as turbocharging or supercharging. Others include: Stoichiometric direct injection typically affords a 1.5 Compression-ignition technologies.
