Adding a S/C alone will not improve FE. Spinning a power sterring pump is a huge drain on FE which is why so many cars are going to EPS. What do you think spinning a S/C does? It takes fuel to drive that S/C even when not providing boost. And as the advantage of a SC is to be always providing boost more air always requires more fuel.
