I have an 08 Crewmax Limited; I've had Ferds Shivvys and Dodges in the past that don't even come close to the mileage; performance or handling. I will say though that if your not easier on it than drivin the old gutless Domestics then yes you will see a drastic decrease in economy. I suggest to anyone who wants good mileage especially on long road trips just let the little woman drive. As for the SuperCharger; watch your "Extended warranties"; also you must install basically all performance accessories to get the performance and economy you desire. TRD Exaust/Throttle Body Spacer/Cold Air Intake and Performance Chip programming.

Dyno tested at 507bhp @ 5600 RPM. It sucks gas b/c I tend to have a lead foot in town. On a good day I might get 14 pg. But I killed a chevy silverado ss in a run by 2 links. Turning heads in town. Its worth the almost 6 grand spent. I just put the 5.7 supercharger on my single cab 07 tundra. Dyno tested at 507bhp @ 5600 RPM. It sucks gas b/c I tend to have a lead foot in town.

Acceleration and high speeds KILL mileage, so if you drive like a "little old lady" you'll get better mileage. Otherwise, intake, exhaust, and a tonneau cover have all been shown to improve MPG - just not enough to justify their expense by themselves. Also, the official Toyota labor guide states that the supercharger takes 9 hours to install. If your local dealership charges about $100 an hour, it should cost about $900 to install. If your dealer quotes you more, it's either because they have a higher labor rate (very common) or because they're charging more than 9 hours. An extra hour or two is OK in my opinion (9 hours isn't enough unless you've installed at least one beforehand), but much more is unacceptable. The dealership's parts department is making a few hundred in profit, so the service department can afford to charge you a normal labor time. Craig - The best way to increase MPG is to drive slower.

It made a little difference, but not as much as I anticipated. I was thinking of the supercharger, even though the $400 I just spent on the Volant would go down the drain. Out of curosity, does anyone know what the supercharger does to the MPG. Right now, I am only getting about 14.5 MPG, which sucks!!!! Also, what other MODs can I do to get an increase in HP. I looked at heads, but not sure what type of impact they will have. I read that the factory heads and exhaust are really good. I have an 08 5.7 tundra, and I have added the Volant intake.
