it's just cutting too deep in to my pockets
no more for me, it's just cutting too deep in to my pockets, it is all coming off and going back to stock.
2.79 is too high when I fill up 2 times a week, time to start running the old 87 in the tank again. all of it can sit till the gas company's settle on a price, after working out a new budget to see what all I can do when they get done raising the price of gas.

I'll have to stay with the cc, maybe if gas prices come back down I'll start modding the cc

Do the math, its only about 5 dollars difference between a tank of 87 and a tank of 93.
Besides, on a boosted engine, you could probably be fine running 87 for back and forth to work as long as you arent running it hard. I can drive to work and never even get over 1 psi boost if i drive it easy.
I guess what i'm trying to say is it wont be really worth pullling off everything just so you can run a lower grade gas. you could allways pulley up to make alot less boost until prices settle.

I agree, plus better fuel usually get's better milage. and every single one of my mod's has only helped milage, not decreased it. If you're worried about milage, buya 500 dollar 4 cyl beater, or keep you damn foot out of it!!

Thats the nice thing about nitrous is if its not flowing I have a normal motor... Other then that all of the mods I have done have increased my mileage as well as power. I love my truck and a more fuel efficient vehicle would be nice to have but I would never get ride of my truck for a fuel efficient vehicle.

Maybe we should start a thread on gas mileage tuning along with lower octane tuning. 
The lowest around here for 93 seems to be 2.69 and the highest is 2.96. It's sick I tell ya.
