Superchargers vs turbochargers

How much do they effect your mpg?

You'll probably loose mileage with either. Most of that comes from the added power and your foot will be in the skinny pedal. I have a Whipple in my 08 and the last trip I took; I realized that I lost 2 MPG with the supercharger and tune. Plus I use premium fuel. My best without the supercharger was 26 MPG, trip. I am around 20 MPG now in town. To get 24 MPG with the supercharger is with cruise on and 65-70 MPH. But I'm going to 373's because I have an auto and I'll loose more.

Just owning a Mustang affects your mpg.

Ain't it great?

Lmao it is, I didn't think I would ever feel so good about getting less at the pump and more out of my right foot! :-)
