It depends. If you stay out of boost, then better. If you boost on your way to walmart, than worse.

more hp = more fuel and air = less mpg
shouldn't be too drastic though, maybe 4-5 mpg difference? so if you had 30 mpg before u get like 25

To hell with 4-5 mpg if thats all it was I would boost all the time. I keep my foot out of it for a whole tank I get 30-32 mpg I play with boost everywhere I go 19-21 mpg. No lie if you put your foot in it it will kill your MPG.

Re: Do Turbos Get Worse Gas Milage??
Yea, a turbo will hurt gas severely... Your ECU works to even the fuel/air mixture out, so u dont run too lean or too rich... So when u add more air, the ECU in turn adds more gas... Which causes u to burn more gas...
