I'm really TRYING to get good gas mileage on this tank.

Would we get better gas mileage if our supercharger did not engage? If that's the case, what if there was a way of turning off the supercharger so that we could improve gas mileage.
I don't know if I could drive the car with out a supercharger, it would feel dead to me.

You will be driving a car that will be passed at the on-ramps by a good running Craftsman Lawn tractor, but heck, you may get better mileage.

the article.Like I said if you choose to **** away 69 gallons of fuel,we know where you are coming from.
If you were running race tires at 38psi and you had a problem with understeer,a drop of 2-4psi would be sufficient to correct the problem,a drop in your case of nearly 40% should have been cause to drop the crew chief.That sums that up

while you are at it read the other article they link to when you take the time to read the entire test

i dont understand why people are so against this. Air is free at most gas stations and doesn't take you a long time to do. It wouldn't hurt to keep your tires properly inflated since it helps with mpg and keeps tread life longer.
I know its works because when i had my civic, i was getting 28mpg since my tires were underinflated at 32psi. I increased my psi to 40 and i got consistent 32mpg.

If you really want to get over 24 MPH and do not mind 150HP C32, than simply unplug the supercharger clutch.
Found out hard way when my IC core started to leak and I had to wait for new one to come in. I did not want to push boost into leaking core for a fear of hydrolocking a cylinder.
Mileage was consitently between 23-25 MPG, in one case 26.1 during constant traffic.
