That will depend on how you drive it. Could stay the same could get better or it could get way worse.

I've had the Saleen s/c for about 1 1/2 years. On highway/interstate driving, my mpg increased around 1.8 - that is of course if I'm not "playing with it"

I've had my Magnacharger for a little over 2 months now and if I'm not "playing with it" as Ed said , I get about the same mileage as before ...

It will vary depending on your driving style at a given moment. But all things being equal, a supercharger pushes more air into your engine. Your engine then requires more fuel to maintain the correct fuel/air ratio. More power, more air - more fuel.

Jay Leno has a 20's (I think) Bentley with the front-mounted supercharger. Very fast car for its day. It gets 3 miles per gallon at top speed.

Hey there,

Its largely going to depend on your right foot - and how much you can keep it out of the throttle while driving – you know – the fun factor

Should do very little (if anything) to your mileage while driving normally. Many of our customers see an increase in fuel economy with the supercharger.

Hope that helps some
