little does that dealer know, but you get WORSE mileage BY FAR with the belt disconnected. The supercharger'* rotors create an obstruction in the intake when they're not turning, so you'll lose more power than the non */c 3800 produces, AND you'll get worse economy. retarded. !

I'd be willing to venture he'* between 10-15 MPG at best.

It does spin. I had to drive home once with the belt disconnected (it fell off some how) and it still makes a lower pitched whine. It still pulled decently too...enough to squeal the tires. With the */C disconnected it still had more balls then my old LN3 too.
