Default MPG with a supercharger

In a cruse 70-80 MPH what MPG are you getting and what supercharger do you have??? I drive alot, I put 6K on my car in 2 months. I can afford to loose some but not much. That is the main reason I'm looking at NOS. Thanks.

If potentially losing a few MPGs is something you can't afford, is a supercharger something you can? Not trying to be rude, but seems like an odd consideration given the investment of a S/C.

I suppose you think your post is more relevant to his question?

With the stillen kit my mpg was around 14. I can't comment on the gtm kit yet. Since I have only filled up a few times. I would say if you are going to choose a kit get go with gtm. They are worlds apart

GTM supercharger will probably get you ~ 20 Miles Per Gallon
Stillen supercharger will get you Mad 15 times Per Gallon

I think weiboy would concur.

OP, your mileage is going to depend on the tune, and how you drive. With a good tune, and staying out of boost, you probably won't lose much in terms of gas mileage.
