Motor Mythbusters
S01E09 Hot Rod Hybrid
Bisi, Tory, and Faye set out to investigate the claim that equipping a hybrid vehicle with a turbocharger can enhance its fuel efficiency. They purchase a 2011 Honda CR-Z, fit it with a turbo, and then take it for a spin on both flat terrain and hilly roads to determine if it achieves improved mileage over the factory version.
