    Boost question.

    I'd like to know how the guys with turbo/super chargers fair in the gas wars? It can't be good. Single digits? I didn't notice any posts from anyone who has made that mod, but I'd like to.

    I'm supercharged and have mine posted above. I don't really notice much of a change - if anything I'm getting better mileage.

    Compensating for larger tires, I get rougly 12-13mpg on 93oct with the S/C. But I also only put about 2k miles on it a year.

    On highway trips with the cruise set @ 65 I average a bit over 17.5, but kickin' it around town it's about 10-12...the S/C has turned me into an even more hopeless acceleration junkie..

    I'm supercharged, 3"+ lift on 33" tires, Amsoil syn in everything...even blinker fluid.
