Barely anything in it mate.

Any increase i would put down to driving 'differently'

Having got the blower, have to use it

Chris,

Mine has only increased due to the fact that it is such fun to rev the car hard with the S/C on there, but it has only increased a fraction

Cheers

Fuel consumption actually seems better on the motorway runs although worse in general since you end up playing all the time. Bye, bye Impreza = bye, bye fuel!

Although I didn't have a supercharger, I did use Shell Optimax, and generally got an extra 50 miles out of my tank, plus it did perform better. Oh, and you need to use it regularly. The more you use it the better it works. Generally it cost 3/4 pence per litre more, but you recoup on the fact that it cleans your engine, and keeps it clean, and you get extra mileage out of the tank!

Top tip for ya lads out there, might just work for you too.

I've been using Optimax for some time now and I haven't noticed much difference. I still only get about 24 miles to the gallon, and don't seem to get any more miles out of a full tank.

Oh well, it worked for me!!!
