Supercharger MPGs?

Hello All. I just bought an 05 TL on Saturday and I was considering the SC for it. I was curious what people were getting for gas mileage with it on. I really wish this car had room for a turbo Oh well.

Shouldn't make a lot of difference in normal driving. The blower should be in bypass so you're only spinning it but not making it work.

If you drive it hard, you're making another 70hp so you're using an extra 70hp worth of fuel.
