Anything that is made to increase power will also increase fuel consumption.
The increased air forced into the engine by the turbocharger would require a proportionately increased amount of fuel. If you fail to add the additional fuel to the air you would lean the engine out which would cause major damage to the internal components of the engine.
No. A turbo uses the exhaust to turn a wheel that pushes more air into the combustion chamber. While it can help gas millage a little usually people use the power more and millage goes down.
No, it gives you less. If it involves you going faster, it uses more gasoline! Proportionality speaking, it saves gas for how fast you go, but you still get worse gas mileage than what you started off with, you know?

it could but i might not a turbo is a device that forces air into the engine to try and acheive the air to fuel ratio of 14:1
so i might or might not
