I just used my new Scan Guage to check my average gas mileage on a 250 mile trip (about 30 miles of it was city driving) and I got 28 mpg! This was in the car listed in my Sig. I thought I would share this info because I see MPG threads from time to time from people trying to decide if they want a SC.

Total miles on a tank I get is around 90-120 Either my car needs some work or I'm too heavy on the pedal...
I drive about 80mph for 10 minutes, to and from work, every day, so that's probably why...

That's sweet Whit!
I know we have almost an identical set up, but I don't think I get that mileage. :scratch:

nice! when we went to NYC last winter we got just under 29. but my 04 is completely stock. i guess cruising around in an S/C car doesnt hurt the MPG until you hit the gas and then you can watch the fuel needle drop! LOL and PAT, yeah i think something is wrong w/ your car. i get better gasmileage in my 92 and my engine is rarely below 4000 rpms!

I was wondering if you and TacBear wouldnt mind posting some soundclips of your cars next to the Supercharger... I noticed you have the S-Trim, and he has the SQ... I was curious as to the difference in sound between the 2.. Thanks guys!!

Thanks guys!! Hopefully mine will sound like The Rocks once it I get it back... Spoke with Vortech yesterday, and they said the car is done.. They are just going through calibrations and tunning... Should be any day now..
I'll make a video as soon as I get the car home..

Something else to note, Tacbears car has the same exhaust, so they sound the same, just the whistle is a bit quieter on his.
