Horrable milage

I just bought the dam thing. Iv been using 91 in it and i changed gas stations and still i have horrable milage. its not my driving habit. i get alot better on my wifes v6 tiberon. I went to see if the intercooler wiring was reversed but its not. and it has the latest calabations. any one else having these problems. i live in lousiana and it only got below frezzing once and were not that hi above sea level. it goes 60 miles per notch on the gas gauge i get like 230 max on a tank of gas.

If you wanted gas mileage why would you buy a car w/ a supercharger? that's like buying a convertable and asking " why would anyone want to drive around w/ the top down on a car?"

I used to average 300-320 per tank but that was all highway with the cruise set at 74 and it was normally over 70 degrees outside. Otherwise I'd get about 250 to a tank in the city.
