Not restrictive, just different than you would think.

My mileage sucks.... But I drive like a man posessed most of the time.... So I have a little shitbox to drive that gets decent mileage.

Still not sure what you are saying. What kind of mileage did your G8 get before your supercharger?

This is my daily driver so any gain in mileage is a big plus for me

Do you contribute the gains strictly to tuning?

i attribute the gains to tuning, the patented manifold with the HVI ports, and the supercharger working together in a package.

I think you would be more apt to seeing gains from turbos instead of blowers.......The BOV on the blowers are usually open (venting and positive, useful pressure) but turbos do not. The (otherwise wasted) exhaust turns the turbine, PUSHING air into the motor, making it more efficient. We all know more efficiency = better mileage (an 8:1 comression motor will have less mileage than an otherwise identical 10:1 motor).

Hmm, I am confused as well, a 10:1 compression engine would need more fuel per combustion event than a 8:1 compression engine based purely on the fact that it has compressed the air to a greater state requiring more fuel to match (maintaining air fuel ratio). What the so called "BOV" actually does on the blowers is to allow the engine to operate under vacuum condtition WITHOUT Boost and without additional horsepower sapping strain on the engine. Think of it as close to a supercharger decoupling device as you can get with out actually mounting an electrically Vacuum/TPS activated clutched pulley.
