A supercharger = more HP = higher MPH

im gonna guess he meant to say mpg.....in which case if you drive with an egg under your foot it will increase but if you floor it from every light then it will decrease

I ran my truck hard before the SC and after so I dont get the best mpg but i was at 13.2 with out and I am around 13.5-14.1 with. Just cant stay out of the boost. Now when my wife drives it she is in the upper 17's. So it is really dependent on your driving style.

well the good thing about it, is when you can get to 100mph in 10 seconds "traction permitting" you dont use that much gas because your not at wot for very long right ? haha
