Default TRD Supercharger fuel mileage at the track or AutoX?

Can anyone that takes their supercharged tC to the race track or auto-X give me an idea of the fuel MPG you get? I don't need HWY mileage, but racing/HPDE/time trial/hard driving mileage.

if you drive normally, theres almost no change in mileage. if you drive with a heavy foot, you obviously have slightly less mileage than you would n/a. if you're worried about gas milage, i wouldnt recommend a any type of forced induction - more money on gas, wear and tear, maintenance.

So....anybody that might be able to help with an answer, compared to a question or alternate suggestion would be appreciated... ...

Actually, it's a really simple question you didn't bother to read. I ask for track MPG; you give me street MPG. How is that confusing?

Can't help you out specifically but I notice 20-22~ mpg when I drive between 3 and 4 thousand RPM. I would expect between 13 and 15, instantaneous mpg while autoxing. You'd have to take a scangauage with you while racing to accurately tell; otherwise you'd have to autox from full to empty and take the ratio of the next fill up to miles raced.

If you want good info from your car's computer, I'd seriously consider an OBDII reader like the scan gauge.

dude what are you gonna do run on your very last drop of gas to be at your lightest?? lolol.. seriously that kinda of quiestion is a little on the wack side..you'd be getting a few Gallons less..2-4 at the most like was sated about.. theres no reall to judge that anyways because no one drives the same and that would be something only you can do on your own since no motor is the same and no driver is either..

autoxin i understand it wont eat up gas cause ur not pushing ur car hard or long.

but heavy track use, it will def suck up a lotttta gas if your pushing ur self to limits of suspension.
