Apex1815 recently shared this with other BHPians.
A brief introduction about myself: I work with an Automobile OEM (Earthmoving Machinery manufacturer) from almost a decade and my area of expertise is Vehicle Homologation, Regulations & Compliance. I often come across the queries related to cars and bikes from my friends / relatives and I try to answer them in a very layman language so that it is easier for them to understand the technical aspects of automobiles. At least, at home, I want to avoid the language of Technical Standards & Regulations for the vehicles.
Recently (from the past two to three years), the Indian car market has seen a lot of hype about turbo charged petrol engine cars over their naturally aspirated counter parts. Ever since the turbo-petrol engines have kicked in the Indian market, it has gained attention of a lot of potential car buyers (especially post launch of Hyundai Venue, i20 & KIA Sonet). Many car buyers aspire their set of wheels to be equipped with turbo-petrol engine (because that has become fashion), without even knowing their driving requirements and blindly follow the mob. Many of the car buyers who end up following the league of turbo-petrol often regret later about lesser fuel efficiency of a turbo-petrol engine car.
