Default Gas Mileage with Magnacharger?

Since i got the SS the gas mile is bad. Maybe it is because i have a heavy foot I average 13mph. I am going to do a charger on the truck over the spring, but if i can justify the gas mileage savings, i would get one now. So how is your gas mileage after the charger.
Thanks.
PS cant wait to pull it apart

My mileage was close to the same, maybe .5-.8 better after the Radix....I get about 16.5 on average.

You will probably get better mileage closer to 65-75mph.

You just need to be able to keep your foot out of it. That's very hard when you have an extra 130 horsepower ready to stampede to the rear wheels!
