I want to add another remark.

For the comparison they have chosen a car with I6 with natural aspirated port fuel injection (N52) and 6-speed automatic against a car with I4 with turbo charged direct fuel injection and 8-speed automatic.

If they would have chosen a 5-type with I6 and direct fuel injection (N53, as common in Europe) and the 8-speed automatic, the results would have been closer together. No question, that the turbo I4 would also have won in terms of figures, but only with a very narrow margin.
