Obama to announce auto mileage, emissions standards

That is how we ended up with turbocharged engines, it was originally used as a measure to lessen fuel consumption..

lol *wrong*

Turbochargers were developed by the Swiss in 1905. They have always been used to increase power instead of to lessen fuel used. There is a difference between the two.

I believe my mistake is stating that turbocharging started in the 70's rather than development toward fuel efficiency through turbocharging was in the 70s; I appreciate the correction.
