Default supercharged consumption

I live in the UK where petrol prices are ridiculously high (equivalent of $7 per gallon!). At cruising speed of 90mph the S is doing approximately 5000rpm and I get decent fuel economy. Can anyone tell me what the consumption at 5000rpm is for a comptech sc'd car as this is one of the factors holding me back?

Thanks,

Alex

I would expect to use a fair bit more overall but is it significantly worse when cruising on long journeys? Am iI looking at about 2 mpg worse at cruise?

I've seen averages as low as 16 (heavy city driving). Highway is on par with what everyone else is reporting.

As they say: "If you have to ask..."
