Supercharging

At a previous job I worked for a company that made motorsport/tuner related products.
They had an agency for Eaton superchargers.
I remember someone claiming that a supercharger could increase your fuel economy.
On one had I can see that more power would mean smaller throttle position for the same highway speed (theoretically).
But on the other hand there's more mechanical drag/loss of turning a supercharger.
Anyone got any hard evidence one way or another?
