's the concept of "getting something for nothing", though I doubt in fact
that this is the case, really; yer don't get anything for nothing.

Having owned both, I'd say that supercharging is much better from the
driving point of view. Turbocharging is theoretically more
economical, though my XJR would return 19-20 mpg whilst my 200SX
managed only 25-26mpg, despite having half the capacity, only just
over half the output, a manual gearbox and rather less weight to drag
around.
