Gas mileage of stock biturbo vs aftermarket force induction?

The issue of the 335i's gas mileage has been brought up in previous threads. One post estimated the mpg (AT values in parentheses) to be:

city: 16(17)
highway: 35(34)
combined: 25(25)

I find this very interesting because I imagine that aftermarket superchargers (or even turbochargers) will give worse gas mileage.

I managed to get 31-33 mpg highway with my 330i GruppeM setup, and 20+ city, until forcing the air/fuel in with my lead foot. The mpg drops dramatically with aggressive driving!
