I'm sure it got more done than just a blower.

Is that 550 to the wheels?

From the way you're yelling, I'd say about 2 mpg.

Once you take down your first new Ferrari or Lambo with that thing, you won't be worrying about the gas mileage.

City - I get 12 to 15
Highway - 22+

Corkvette1 with a 434 gets 20+mpg on highway

If tuned properly - should be reasonable.

Default what mileage?

I'd say first, put in an analog gas gauge...that way it would also be useful as a fan.
HAVE FUN!
