you'd be getting the same with a non supercharged model highway driving...maybe 20 if your lucky...most get about 16-17mpg supercharged or not. Supercharger your looking at premium fuel though so you definitely won't be gaining any ground there.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to diesel prices... Yes, he wouldn't be saving as much as regular but diesel is $$$$$ these days. Back when my truck was stock I would easily see over 20mpg, bigger more aggressive tires is what kills it. Adding an S/C is debatable and depends more on your right foot than without it. It also depends on what fuel mods you do b/c chances are your going to need it.

Actually diesel prices down here are about the same as premium, as some stations it's just a cent more per liter...

I have a stock 3.4L Auto and I get 21MPG on the highway and 16-17MPG around town. My old 98 supercharged 4Runner got the exact same mileage (of course, used premium fuel).
You might want to get a 4-cyl, 5-speed, if you're wanting something in the 25MPG range.
