Readout is good by me.. Will the 4.10 gearing help or hinder the mpg with it been SuperChargerd??
they say 4.10's will help with city driving and hurt with highway. At 70mph my readout shows 21-22mpg. I can get it up to 24 if I stay right at 60. Supercharging really doesn't hurt your gas mileage if you don't use the power, but who can resist showing people just how slow they really are whenever possible.

I'd say wider tires would hurt you gas mileage more than any supercharger.

8 on the highway, 5 in the city
[8D]Yeah, sure feels that way!

My readout says 12.5 city and 19.5 highway (easy driving). Advertised stock was something like 17/23? Gotta feed it a little more oats but WTH LOL

I get around 14 around town and 17.8 average. I have never checked highway only driving. I was averaging around 23 before supercharging, so it definatly hurt my milage.

They don't need the lead foot to get higher speeds.

I got 21 or so with the 4.10's before after the turbo.

I have 3.55's now and get 26.4 mpg on the freeway @74ish.

Who cares about city?
