I get about 24-26 MPG on long road trips highway only.
Mixed in the city I still get about 18 when I drive it nice and 12 when I don't drive it nice.

hi guys, i have a 06 5AT coupe, and im looking to go FI, i would rather get a supercharger seeing as how it is more reliable on stock internals than a turbocharger and this is my daily driver. my questions are....

which supercharger should i get when it comes to gains and reliablity? Vortech or HKS GT

if i am running at 8 psi, how long will my car last as a DD with stock internals?

don't go HKS. If you work out the numbers is has the worst cost/benefit ratio (it's expensive and the max potential is so low), and it sounds like a$$. 8 psi is nothing on a SC. Go for it!!!

04 6MT 75K on the motor and about 1,400 on the Vortech, not problems thus far. Terrible gas mileage in town because I love boast, but highway is around 20MPG. I don't boost in 4th 5th or 6th though...

it just depends on how your drive your car after your get boost.. but i mean no engine is bulletproof with F/I in the g35/350z world..
