Yeah true thats gonna be hard adding 130 rwhp though. My thing is ok they both make about the same amount of hp both make boost at different points so what is actually better for trucks:roots or centrifical??

You're driving habits have a LOT to do with you're gas mileage.

If you want free MPG, look into a turbo, not a supercharger.

I think JamesB is right. You shouldn't get a charger because you think it's going to improve your mileage.
I think if you are concearned about mileage, you really shouldn't have a truck anyway.
