Well, yeah. Stay off the boost, and it'll be mildly ok on gas. If supercharger pulley is broken, that's another source of parasitic power loss.

Remove belt and try to spin the supercharger. The pulley should spin but not spin the supercharger. There is a clutch that is engages when you want supercharger, but otherwise disengages and freespins.

If you can spin supercharger, bad pulley.

Full tank gives me about 450-500km in the highway (freeway) with average speed between 110-140km, the cluster shows about 9-10 L/100km.

If I'm accelerating and zooming around, a full tank can finish within 350km....
