Procharger mileage question

I was thinking of getting a procharger and talked to one of the reps, and he said that your mpg will be roughly the same as without one. Just wondering if anyone had one, and if they saw that there mileage stayed the same. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Re: Procharger mileage question

It will go down a little. If your looking for MPG, just don't get on it all the time. But, once that boost kicks in, you mind as well just watch your MPG jump off a cliff. If you have a lead foot, it will go down, ten fold. As opposed to your none boosted engine.

Re: Procharger mileage question

so if you don't really get on it, mpg should be very similar
