You may need tune up ..once I changed air filter to mfrs filter and mileage went up . ..'make sure tires inflated properly fuel filter could have issue. Spark plug wires may need replacing. Etc
Yes. A sticking fuel injector can allow far too much fuel into a cylinder.
bad piston rings.
too much fuel, excessive oil consumption
Scan the computer diagnostic codes using a GM code scanner.
If the operator is not concerned with emission regulations he or she may be faced with steep fines. Also an engine that is not within regulations often is not running efficently. This may cause an excessive increase in fuel consumption. If the operator is not concerned with emission regulations he or she may be faced with steep fines.

A dirty or clogged air filter would cause excessive fuel consumption, and it could cause the engine to surge, but I'm not sure about the drop in your alternator guage.
No
a bad camshaft sensor will do this. considering it is tuned up properly...
Black smoke is usually caused by excessive fuel consumption, alot of things can cause this but if the turbo was recently installed, the injection system (controlled by the ECU) needs to be reprogrammed for it.
First thing to check is the pcv valve.
High fuel consumption on an EFI could be caused by a bad O2 sensor. Another reason for high fuel consumption is a dirty air filter or oil filter that needs to be changed. Electronic Fuel Injection vehicles are also famous for clogged fuel injectors.
Several problems can cause high fuel consumption. An engine that needs a tune up, a slipping transmission or a problem with a sensor giving bad information to the computer can all cause low fuel economy.
