Does anybody know how much more fuel the superchargers burn?

I don't think they make any diffrerence - give you more speed at same engine setting. Wish we had that technology today.....

Some time ago I was asking if it was somehow possible to remove the engine upgrade from your boat. Reason for that was because the "maximum estimated range at current speed" was a lot less than before I got that upgrade ( it was the same weather and sea ). Also, it is less historically accurate if your boat goes 19-20 knots on surface.

So I changed to sea cow and I stay out of engine upgrades.

Fuel consumption seems to depend on speed in knots. So you burn more fuel running at ahead slow or 1/2 because you're going faster. Simple as that methinks.
