gas milage should be very close to be the same if well tuned and you're not enjoying boost too much ;-)

when im driving for mpg, i get pretty much the same if not better when it was leaned out a bit.. under boost it all depends how much u boost, psi ur running, cuz more psi= more fuel under boost, so its all up in the air under boost. when im not boosting i get about 27mpg highway..
but with the supercharger boost is instant so it would be hard to say.

nana.gif that's good question.
but I think you will have worse MPG with turned off S/C, cause it would be harder for air to travel through turned off S/C + intercooler.
