increase MPG if the engine is in a 3/4 ton truck? Having this debate at work with all the shade-tree mechanics. There has to be better knowledge on this board then this bunch I'm listening to!!

Dumb arse question. You work with diots, including yourself.

It will get 0mpg after it blows up, so no.

Sure if you can keep your foot out of all the extra HP.

not at all, more air drawn into the motor requires more fuel in order to reach the correct air to fuel ratio. Even if you put put around a supercharger places an extra load on the motor since it is belt driven, therefore you can't escape the mpg hit even with conservative driving.

It'll decrease the MPG. Due to: parasitic drag via the belt that runs it, plus, with engines, more air = more fuel = lower MPG. This is the reason that in real world driving the Ford EcoBoost is anything but economical. Granted, with turbos, you don't have the parasitic drag issue, but you do have the more air = more fuel = lower MPG issue. If people were capable of driving it without getting "into boost" it would be more economical than a V8 because it would essentially be a 3.5L, which is more economical than a 5.0, 5.3, 6.2l due to lower displacement. But, once you spool the turbos up, the air charge per liter is denser than it is in a larger NA motor and thus so must be the fuel charge, and as such, the amount of fuel being used more or less evens out.
