Not with a fixed vane turbo, nope ain't happening.

It is , I looked up volvo in Europe, they are really agonizing about mpg, because diesel cost almost 2 times more. They have all kind of weird fuel savings things. So, they went with a fixed turbo too and this compounding device. You could check it out yourself. Also their trucks do get up to 11 mpg , but speed is way less than here. I think 50mph or around that.
