#1 not exactly.
With a turbocharger, you (of course) will get more Horse-power, which for the same speed, let's say 100Km/h (~60Mph) a car with a turbocharger, requires less effort from the motor than a car without a turbocharger, that have to push more (higher RPM = more fuel consumption (and not only)).

The turbo uses the expanding gasses from the exhaust to push more air into the combustion chamber, so it works more efficient when you push the throttle to the limit. at normal speed, it makes the air-intake more accurate. At low speed it can even cause a lower airflow into the engine, thats why high performance engine stall, when you do not hit the throttle properly.

It's amazing what a modern turbo can do. A decent sized diesel truck (lorry) can have enough power to operate normally even with a mere 2-liter engine. This enables pretty impressive fuel savings. I guess the downside is that having two turbos makes an engine more unreliable, and obviously more expensive to build or repair.

I wonder how many they will be building when electric rules.

Im sure it uses much much more fuel
