28% FE gain this site claims for this supercharger. It takes just seconds to install they say. I know some folks claim superchargers can improve FE, better than a turbo I have been told. But wouldn't it need to deliver power at a low RPM? Could this really deliver 28% at 2000 RPMs on a Civic?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
