Superchargers and MPG

Superchargers and MPG
Hey all,
Just curious . . .
Those of you who have superchargers; how much did those power adders affect your MPG in normal driving. I know that when you're in boost, there is significant difference, but do any of you have an idea on numbers on your average hwy driving.
Trying to get a feel for how much the spinning of the pulley outside of boost affects the mpg.
Kind of at a point where I am torn between building up the CTS-V, ditching it and putting more money into the Stang, or looking at other options that will retain decent MPG.

Sell the Stang & the V1 and buy an '09 or '10 V2 . . . power & performance.
Less insurance, less maintenance ie tires, oil, gas, tune-ups, etc., less headaches, . .. damn . .
i must be getting old . . . . . NEVER MIND.
Oh, MPG with maggie . . . 0 to 1 less . . maybe 2 . . depending on the adjustment of the nut behind the wheel.

Headers lowered my fuel economy by about 1-1/2 MPG overall.
Put the maggie on and there was no difference in MPG ... except when my foot couldn't resist the temptation.
