well a supercharged engine would tend to use more fuel (when you are caning it) as the turbo utilises the exhaust energy to drive the compressor, wheras the supercharger uses crankshaft power.

not that you get power for free with a turbo, it still takes engine power to drive, but not as much as a supercharger.

a supercharger will tend to use more fuel when your not canning it unless youve set it to come on at a certain throttle position or load ect ect and thats assuming your using an electronic clutch....

you are constantly boosting a s/c car when driving arround town to get away from traffic lights etc etc
