Ive almost made my mind up on forced induction than one thing hit me 350 whp is *uckin great, but whats the gas millage like.

Supercharging 17/18 mpg

Turbokit 22/23 mpg

this could very well decide the outcome of my Z.

Im probably right.

Now lets go to the phone lines & hear from the viewers

 

if you can afford a z....and then a tt or sc...than you can afford to pay for the difference in gas mileage....just do it and live with the consequences.

 

Well when the stupid Sand Diego police soon influence the rest of the nation i want to make sure i have the upper hand when im being pursued by those black and whites and not stall out on the middle of the freeway

 

The turbos will generally give you more control over the boost that you're using. If you are driving in the city or on the highway where there is little demand for power (ie--cruising), then there are quite a few ocassions where you will not be spinning the turbos at all--if you use a light throttle. All of this easy to monitor with a basic boost guage. So...if you drive with a light throttle when power is not needed, then the turbos will probably yield more mpg than an SC. Also, the turbos will not use power to spin a belt, as with the SC.

 

I get about 17-20 miles per gallon on my TT 350Z

 

are we talking highway or city? i only get about 21mpg N/A with pop-charger/plenum/test pipes.

 

I seem to be getting 15-17 on surface streets with my Stillen Stage 2 Supercharger. Haven't done a real accurate assessment though

 

Gas mileage? Are you kidding me...go buy a hybrid civic...j/k gas prices are crazy now, it like 40 buck to fill a tank!

 

check this out I was going up I95 the other day about 80-86mph and chicked that botton on the dash to see my mpg and it said 6.1mpg 32ampg WTF? but in a two hour ride I didnt even burn half quater tank so it cant be right

 

You will never have the upper hand while being pursued by the black and whites.

 

The TT will always give better MPG in a light crusie condtion just due to the drag of the supercharger. It really depends on how you drive though. I get 22mpg in town and 27-28 on the highway (70-75mph usually no A/C on) Of course if I'm messing around alot I can burn up a tank in less than 200 miles. (10mpg)

I hear guys...this is not the car to buy if fuel consumption is a consideration!
