You have a supercharger correct? Off boost you don't have the economy of a turbo as you are still spinning the compressor. Still not buying that a turbo is more efficient than the same motor NA but a turbo is definitely more efficient than a supercharger if you stay out of it.

ya! but then i'm not making any positive boost. not sure if that matters much on the S/C app. still a little disappointed in my fuel mileage. 220 is what i'm making on highway and local driving combined out of a full tank lol

gas price in San Francisco is around $4.17 for 91 octane btw lol.
