Re: Buy a Supercharger TRD or diesel for my fj ?

Okay, maybe i misread some post. I thought that the supercharger gave less MPG but more horsepower. I have a bad memory. Does anyone have some MPG numbers with the SC.

well, if you have lead foot, your mpg definitely drops like crazy, but when you're cruising, you'll gain a few mpg.

Re: Buy a Supercharger TRD or diesel for my fj ?

How many miles will you be towing that RV trailer ?

Wind resistance is a big factor when towing RV and cargo trailers at highway speeds.

My opinion: If you are towing short distances, save your money and use the FJ as is. If any mileage is gained with the supercharger it will be so minimal that justification on this basis is nearly impossible. If you are towing long distances, buy a decent used truck (diesel is preferable) for a tow vehicle.
