I'll agree, it may be possible to design an engine to run more efficiently with a turbocharger, not sure about supercharger since it gets its power directly from the engine where as the turbo gets some of its power from waste heat. Anyway, what do you think you'd have to do to an engine to get it better mileage with a supercharger?
