Boosted MPG?

[47_MasoN_47]

I think there are enough people here to get a good poll of what the average MPG is with turbo/super charging. If you have forced induction, please reply and let everyone know what kit you're running and what average mileage you get. Any other mods that may be pertinent to the mileage would be useful too. I feel like down the road a bit I may be interested in it, but it'll probably be a bit.

Thanks guys!

Pretty much been getting 32/34 HWY and 30/32 Mixed. You already know my setup. I use 91/93 octane and then stp octane boost.

That's not bad at all. Do you have to run the high octane fuel with FI? I get 30-34 city and 40ish highway if I'm not rolling 75+.

I was averaging 37 MPG before I installed my Blitz Supercharger. Since I am averaging 34 MPG and I always keep the switch in the mode where the supercharger's clutch engages with the least amount of throttle. Most of my driving is around town.

For our car I would say yes. I know that Scott is gonna try to see if he can get more FE if he bumps to an F/IC.

My highest with the Zage is 42 mpg. Average is about 36-37 mpg.

that's impressive, what is your setup? Basically stock numbers with a turbo added.

Actually I am thinking of doing the F/IC so I can be cheap and run 87 octane. With my current driving patterns I really don't see me increasing MPGs. I am only on the highway once or twice a week and the rest is just puttering around town.

you guys are getting higher than I am on a almost stock engine ~_~ maybe i should go boosted to increase it lol.

I get high 20's.
If I stomp on it, you can watch the fuel gauge lose bars. Entertaining!

When I was down there and running 93 I was getting 29/32 mixed as a heads up. This was once again detuned. If I was to travel up to Huntsville I would get 33/34 at roughly the 75mph. My mileage actually dipped by 1/2 mpg when I lived down there over the long term.
