Did you really buy this car for gas mileage? I guess if you bought an auto you really didn't buy the car as a performance driver so in that case I'd suggest to you to stay away from a $5k minimum S/C. If you amortize that cost into your gas budget LOL you may as well be driving a pickup truck with a hole in the gas tank. And the S/C will not turn the car into a Dragster - think sub 13 seconds 1/4 mile times tops which is nothing to write home about. It will just make the car more fun light to light which is what this car requires hence the aftermarket scrambling to put together any sort of forced induction packages.
