Re: Opinions on Speed Chip Upgrades
I don't deem them worth while.
All they do is advance the timing and usually increase the fuel injector pulse width. You get better performance but a reduction in fuel economy.

Re: Opinions on Speed Chip Upgrades
Actually the MPG remains about the same, maybe even a slight increase BUT most chips are designed to be used with 93 octane so any gain would be eat up by the extra 20 cents per gallon.

Re: Opinions on Speed Chip Upgrades
$1.959 for ethanol here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. $.02 more for regular. Premium hurts just to look at.

Re: Opinions on Speed Chip Upgrades
$1.86 for regular, $1.90 for mid grade and $1.96 for super here in So. Il. Not to bad by comparison.The prices would be cheaper if one guy didn't own 8 out of the 10 gas stations in town.
