Default sc folks... do you get crap gas mileage?

being that your sc is always providing power even at crusing speeds how is your gas mileage? I know the mileage for turbos its not really affected until its spooling. Im thinking about going FI and i just wanna see the pros and cons of everything first.

You will probably loose more gas mileage with a turbo then a SC... Boost loves gas.
