Gas Mileage on Boosted 1.7 Civic?

here's a pointless question.

How bad is the gas mileage on a boosted 1.7 civic?
12psi max boost.

Is it at least in the 20's? or worse?

Just curious, since my turbo fund is minimal as of yet, and gas prices are going through the roof.

Thanks.

dude unless you boost all the time you get almost the same as stock. when you boost hardcore it probably goes down into like 25 mpg
