A lot of cars already have a small enough engine that they can gain FE by simply adding a turbo. No down sizing required. Take a look an LPT (low pressure turbo) volvo. It will climb steep. Hills at low RPM (1000-1500) in third gear at low speed all day and return better FE than the NA version in the same situation.
