GO Play!!!!! W/ that kind of HP , I don't imagine I would ever , in a million years , be able to keep my foot out of it long enough to ever calculate MPG, That being said , I would say around 10-15 Mpg. MAYBE.

It takes the same amount of horsepower to propel the car at XXmph whether the car is supercharged or not.
Now, the SC adds some weight, and it adds some parasitic drag, so that will hurt your mileage somewhat, but I'd bet that your mileage will not go down more than 20%...which means instead of 24 mpg (about average for our C4's) you'll be seeing about 20 mpg.....ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL!!
Realize that every time you put your foot in it, your mileage will go down to about 3mpg......
Just as with a NA car, it's all in how you drive.

10-15 
I doubt it, how about 8-10. I've had another vette (pumped up) and a 454 that when I hit them you could actually see the gas guage dropping-and it wasn't just from squatting.Maybe 15
on the highway if you go easy-but all them ponies=equal a fun time-
just be careful and get to know the car.
