The turbo gives you more power to the engine (Star Trek joke hiding in there) without extensive work. Its kinda like cheating. The new Cruze will have 1.4L turbo and a 1.8L turbo to give it more power in tiny engines. In some cases more power is better, so less effort is exerted to get the car moving. But somewhere there is a line where it becomes too much power, and its just excess. The Aveo had 104HP and got 30 MPG HWY. Too little power. Increase by 4, (other modification probably as well) and its boosted to 35MPG HWY, both in a 1.6L engine. Maybe a turbo will be good, but maybe it wont. You just need to know that fine line where MPG peaks, where after MPG decreases.
