If you get a Roushcharger get the NEW one. The base roushchargeris not much power for the buck but the new one
looks pretty darn impressive.

But it it a much better s/c. Buy the old one like mine and you can keep the warranty. Decisions, decisions.

I've found the same to be true, though I haven't cared to look at the hard numbers. But I certainly get less mpg now than before, to be sure. But the fun of it all makes up for any increase in gas expenditures.

With a built motor and a Paxton my mileage is crazy....... In town I average 14-15 but on long hiway trips (200miles or more) I get 24 - 24.8 I don't know why there is such a drastic difference, prolly my driving style. I amagressive around town but on the hyway I set c.c. @ 70mph and let her go!

By a hybrid and don't concern yourself with going fast.
HP and MPG don't belong in the same sentence.

Just for S&Gs I tested my mpg with the Saleen. Couple of road trips with some city driving netted me around 23mpg. However, it was very boring. I'm back to my 13mpg...
