    Default somethings wrong with the logic here...

    when I had my eat chip in I got almost 4 more MPG which made it well worth the extra in costs for primium. Figure the costs and then make the decision. I would rather have the eat and use premium than the stocker and mid grade for 4 cents less. there is no comparison to me.

    Default Same for me, Jeff, but I got a bit less of an increase

    I usually figured it out at 2 to 3 more mpg with the EAT chip.

    i got two or three also. gas is up to around $2.00/gallon in northeast ny, so i'm trying to keep the driving to a minimum.....

    bottom line is that i'm not willing to go back to stock!!! thanks again mark!

    still can find 93 for $1.72 here, but you pass a lot of $1.79 stations. just tanked up the 535 tonight, $33+ fill up sucks

    If you can keep your foot out of it you can enjoy the additional MPG. I need that chip on some of the ride to work (idiotic NC dot and their cloverleaf ramps that overlap...come to a stop, cross one section going one way then another going another way before it's a balls to the wall fight to get in the only lanes that don't end).

    Still running 23/24 all around, highway trips are up towards 27.

    Let's put things in prospective. I just bought a '97 land cruiser because I needed the hauling capabilities due to major house remodeling (got sick and tired of hauling crap in the 5er). I just filled up last night and figured that I got a whopping 14 MPG with most of those miles on highway. The LC is rated at 13-15 (city/HW cycle). On the other hand I use the 5er (with the EAT) to commute daily to downtown Chicago. I get about 16.5 MPG in the city whereas highway yields about 22.5. Although I use regular in the LC, it still holds 25 gals=$45 per fill.
