id imagine its the same as a turbo'd car where you should let the oil warm up properly before booting it.

Sounds pretty standard, when I bought my mini the guys said , “ let her warm up then give her all you got “ haha

How bad is the mpg of a supercharged 998 stock engine for daily driving?

It'll run richer and use more fuel.

Oh, it is not that much worse if you are driving sedately, but if you are 5 minutes behind schedule, and pass up a filling station, the needle seems to sink to Empty very quickly.

as a rough guide i could get 45ish on a run ( steady 50-60ish) from my 1380 7 port turbo, most large bore turbos seem to be similar if well set up, charged 1275's seem to be down around mid 30's for similar, so i guess your looking at high 30's from a 998, and round the houses down in the 20's.
