A cheap solution to better fuel economy?

Next year GM will introduce a new 1.4 liter turbocharged gasoline engine for vehicles sold in the US. One of the first possible candidates for the technology is the Chevy Cobalt, however, the technology could also be used in bigger cars.

"You're going to see turbocharged four-cylinders in vehicles that no one could have ever imagined that they would be in," Jim Queen, GM engineering chief told AutoWeek.
