It all depends on how you tune it. If you go small turbos and try for low-end boost you are going to lower MPG (more air requires more fuel). However, if you tune the boost to come one around 3K RPM, then moderate driving won't get you in the high air flow range. With cooling of the charge, it is safe to run a slighly leaner tune at these low RPMs, so you get better fuel ecomomy.
