Either way you are going to have to dump more gas into the engine to make up for the added air...

I would think that you would need the same amount of gas for a super charged 7psi and a turbo charged 7psi...

But really...if you are concerned with gas mileage, don't go FI...

Supercharger is on all the time, you only burn gas with turbo if you're boosting, so supercharger uses more gas.

depends on the right foot. If you drive both cars normal, it'll be the same.
