What's different? The foot.

Making more power means your going to use more fuel.. So yes gas milage between 10-35mpg.. Again it's you and your foot that will determine this.
Ok.

Take the foot out of the equation. This is what we're asking. Say I average 32mpg over a tank of gas driving back and forth to work. Mostly (90%) highway driving at 75mph with a few sprints here and there. Assuming that everything else stays exactly the same except this supercharger, how much would mpg suffer?

Regardless, I think anyone installing this kit will be ditching the tires and there goes a big chunk of MPG anyway but I'm curious about the original question too.
