Turbocharger v/s Supercharger gas mileage

[Ya Mahn]

I would like to find out who has the better fuel mileage. I have been told that the turbo will get the upper hand on the mileage. Only because the supercharger will use up 15% of the engine horse power to drive the pump. A number of 8 MPG. Is this true? Or is the supercharger still the better bang for the buck?

If you are trail riding you will get over 100 miles per tank of gas. I would guess it should be 10-12 mpg.

Last trip we did 300 miles of slow to medium trail riding and I was averaging about 15 mpg. I took about 2 liters per stop more than my bros Apex GT.

once you're jetted correctly they're about the same. I was seeing over 100mi to a tank. Just remember more boost is going to use more fuel.
