f/c (Fuel Comsuption) will drop because you will be boosting. If you can keep the RPM's under 3000 you should get close to what you get now. when in boost you are throwing more fuel into the engine thus your gas milease will go down.

I don't have experience here but I know that the SC runs rich to help keep things cool so I would expect a significant mileage decrease seeing how you would be using more fuel even with optimum A/F.
