I seem to have missed this the first time around.
Converting your figures to standard measurements, I am getting about 19 mpg. Not huge, but if you look at price per mile, it's significantly better than gas.

That being said, everything I post is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I use less fuel now since adding the supercharger........driving sensibly and within speed limits, about 6 or 7 percent.
Go figure.
More efficient I assume.
And thats pushing 20% more rubber as well.
In the package I went from 185mm wide to 225mm wide.
This fuel likes, no loves compression- no matter how you make it.

Power is all low end 1800- 4500rpm.

Wow - thats probably one of the most awesome brats Ive ever seen. Being supercharged and running on propane is even cooler....
Very nice job!
