My Max generally gets around 22-24 MPG average. Now I KNOW getting a supercharger WILL decrease the gas milage, but by how much? Is it minimal loss? Or are we talking about hitting the gas station 3x a week instead of once?

Expect about 18-19mpg with occasional boosting sprees.

Here's what I Average . . .

I use to be able to get approx. 400 miles out of a tank of gas prior to the SCer which averaged out to 25.8 mpg. Now I consistently get 340-350 miles out of a tank and that's with me boosting a couple of times during each driving session and that translates to approx. 21.9 to 22.6 mpg (based on putting in 15.5 gallons). I'm personally quite happy with those numbers considering my mod list below. Hope that helps.

I know you've post this before, but that's still some amazing mileage you get out of the SC.

I get about 23... N/A.
