Depends on city/highway and how much I get into the boost. It's varied from as low as 15 to as much as 23 (all hwy). I probably average around 17-18.

I didn't care about the mpg when I got the X. If I did the driving I used to do I don't think I would own a X.

This is about what I see and I have a heavy foot while on the highway of about 85+mph(accounts for around 50% of my driving). I got the same gas mileage the entire 20K miles I drove my truck before being boosted.

I'm not pointing fingers but this is a Forced Induction mileage question thread and I see to NA people that answered:hmmmm2: Breakin ballz breakin ballz

Has anyone really lost and mileage after getting boosted? Some of my best MPG's have come since being boosted.

I get about 14 MPG with a very heavy foot. That is also what I got before the SC, but I drive it even harder now after adding it. I am lifted with bigger tires and armor (steel plate bumper, sliders, etc.). I am confident that I would see better mileage with my SC if I accelerated at the same rate and drove at the same speed as I did when I was NA.

I did about 4 hours of driving over the pass and back around here under heavy boost conditions 80% of the time and got 15.8 MPG. No traffic and I had wide open roads etc. I was really surprised.

I get anywhere from 12-15 MPG when I commute which is a mix of city and freeway driving. This is about what I got before boost. I will say that with boost your foot might get a little heavier and have a direct impact on your MPGs.

Just took a road trip and finally had a good chance to check highway mileage.
URD MKII stage III putting out 415hp, T56 transmission with .5 OD and 4.30 gears out back. Cruising 75-80 mph which is 2Kish rpm I got 22.5mpg.
Usually with mixed driving I am around 18-19 mpg. Not too bad IMO.

No change for me really between n/a and f/i.... however, its been a long time since...
personally, if you gonna supercharge your truck, last thing you need to think about is the gas mileage
