You will save money on insurance buts that about it.
Petrol wise compared to a UK Turbo is about the same and servicing costs are around the same.
I get about 290 miles out of a full tank

iceman - but the sport petrol tank is 10 litres smaller than the turbo, so adding that into the equation + the miles per tank, your fuel bill works out about 60-70% of what a turbo would drink.

I never got more than 220miles on my turbos before the light came on (which is about 50ltrs used), now I get 250 with only 40ltrs used on the sport (that mainly stop-start driving in rush hour traffic and a small amount of motorway use).

290 miles

I get 215 miles from a full tank, and it is 10 litres smaller than a turbo tank as stated above
