    Worse. If you are wanting to improve fuel economy, improve your right foot.

    People need to realize that vehicles equipped with a power adder get better MPG than a N/A vehicle as long as your drive it right. Why do you think Ford has the new 'EcoBoost' for example?

    That EcoBoost was a huge flop...that thing was tested by C&D and R&T...got an average of 16-18 mpg's. No better than a tank n/a V8...pointless. You want gd MPG's and boost? Stick with 4 cylinders IMO.

    One thing, don't speed all the way to the stop light, let off and even brake a little when you see an upcoming red light. What costs you mileage is getting the car moving again. Thats why rapid braking causes a decrease in mileage, its not the braking, but rather the energy you have to spend to get moving again.
