The beauty of a Turbo Engine. 

1) There is minor turbo intervention at highway speeds on a flat road. So 
essentially you have a 2.2 Liter engine.
2) With the CBD I got 24 mpg from LA to SF with speeds up to 100 mph 
including up the grape vine.
3) If you had a CRB I would expect about 25 mpg if not a little more for the 
same trip.
4) 5.2 seconds seems a little optimistic ... no doubt you 60 to 150 will be 
very good.
