The problem with SC is you have pretty high crank drag from SC, unless you build in clutch and bypass but then your not getting any benefit at cruising speeds.
Turbo is the way to go your using free exhaust power to turn turbo. Even with same engine size you an get slight mpg boost but most times is best to lower engine size by like 25-30% to get real good mpg increase .
