I'm not sure about a s/c but for a turbo, all i do is keep it under boost and i get pretty good miliage, then once i get into boost then bye bye miliage.

+1......but i'd imagine a supercharger would cause it to be little worse on gas

My Vortech only dropped my mileage 1 mpg at a steady 70mph. But it makes it harder to keep your foot out of it!

If you stay out of boost on the highway you shouldn't see much of a decrease in gas mileage. Get into boost a few times and you might as well stop for new fuel.
