That is the problem with turbo gasoline engines. Unless you have a very tiny, undersized engine in a vehicle almost every thing about the turbo gasoline concept works against getting good fuel economy.
BSFC is higher on gas turbo motors, roughly 20% higher. That means it take 20% more fuel to make the same power as a N/A gas motor.
