If you're like me, your gas mileage will plummet, because you'll always be flooring it, enjoying your newfound power.

i have the SCT Pro Racer Package and tune my own car. i've never detuned it for gas mileage purposes. i don't drive the car enough to worry about it.

My gas mileage really hasn't suffered much since the addition of the Vortech.

Any centri supercharger shouldn't have a huge impact unless your constantly getting into boost. Bottom line is that you'll lose gas mileage everytime your into boost, but if that isn't too often, you should be ok.
