But just think what economy you could get out of a Diesel!!!!!!

If you can get high 40's out of a VTEC, you must be able to get 60's out of a CTDi!!!!

Superchargers appear to be going out of fashion, I can only think of Merc still using them. VW have started using Supers and Turbos together. Perhaps the fact that the engine has to turn them means they are not as fuel efficient as a Turbo running on waste gasses.
