Boost increases efficiency but its created by energy not being utilized by the pistons. If you drive in a way that keeps boost low you are putting most of your fuels energy into moving you down the road.

Do Not Try And Mod Your Car To Lower Boost. Instead do things to make it more efficient to create boost : Free flowing intake, free flowing intercooler, free flowing exhaust, ram air intake, etc...
