Roe supercharger and gas mileage

[Schulmann]

I was wondering how bad it gets the gas mileage with a Roe type supercharger.
Anybody with real experience ?

What is the gas mileage on highway/city/racing ?

Having this staff installed do I need to own also an 18 wheel tanker ?

Keep your foot out of it (off boost) the mpg should remain the same.

I am running 3:55 gears along with the Roe, highway from Florida to Ohio I got 20, around town 8-9, the price of fun!

I'm running stock 3.07 gears and I get 20 MPG highway and 11 MPG around town.

I get better gas mileage in my Viper than my daily driver Dodge Ram truck.

I have yet to figure out how to do that! I've had about 20% less MPG, but the grin on my face is that much bigger! If it was my daily driver, I might be more concerned about it.

S/C viper 0 mpg 10 fun factor

Honda insite 55mpg 8 fun factor

Reason ---- when a ricer picks on little brother (insite)
Big brother (viper) goes looking and dines well. It must be because they are the same color (red)

True its been a long day

10-11 in the city. No long highway trips yet so not sure on highway mpg. Still worth losing 1 mpg for fun factor. sure will be less with hard driving.

Who cares, go fo it! Get a moped if the gas is an issue and drive the Viper on "special" occasions!

Okay from what I heared it isn't so bad. I just wanted to be sure that gas milleage won't really get very bad something like 10 mpg on highway instead of 23 mpg. I have heared about Camaros going very bad with SC ...

I am not yet decided for the Roe SC but going in this direction ...

My really problem is to get this SC into Canada ...

18 mpg, 200 miles between gas stops, average speed 90-100mph including a few spurts up to higher speeds. Of course this was on a closed race coarse
