o damn lol ur crazy, when i refule i never let it go pass 13 gallons. i still have 2 gallosn left, as soon as the warning thing comes on i refule.

on my way to work i get avg 26mpg thats what the ecu says, on my way home i get 32 cause its all down hill according to the ecu.

so im hoping maybe the pully can free up maybe 1 more mile to the gallon.
also hoping that the drop in filter from works or k@N will add some mpg

I doubt the pulley will add mpg. Never heard of that being a selling point for any pulley. Adding the intake and the piggyback ecu will though.

i've used a piggy back before for the eclipse and **** was not worth 300 bucks, im sure as hell not gonna pay 450 for this one, if you do research that is a rip. everything else is priced right but that ecu thing is just plain expensive.

You look at it differently from me. I increased my city mpg by 8. Over a one year time period, what I saved in gas is paying for it. Basically it is paying for its self. And I get the added bonus of more tq than the others. Its a win/win situation.

Well I have the ECU and drive 150 miles a day on the freeway. Because of how I drive before I was getting like 24-26 miles to the gallon. Now after the instal I get 30-33 miles to the gallon. Taking that into consideration I save almost $75 a month. Paying $3 a gallon here in Cali. It already almost paid for itself in the short time I've had it. I don't know about you but I like saving money. Oh and the pulley hasn't really freed up any mpg for me well not enough to notice just to stay on topic.

"Easy to install" and "worth it" are opinion statements. You kinda have to decide for yourself.

If you know how to work on cars, install is a breeze. If you're new at this, you're going to have ****ing problems.

Worth it is totally up to you. At the very least, if you don't notice any gains, you're only out $100...

Same here. Glad someone understood what I was trying to say. I think I have paid off a little over a half of mine by the money saved on gas.

The intake is a win/win mod here. It will increase your power and your gas milage slightley. Nothing compared to the piggy though.

Comes with directions that are very easy to follow. Took me 30 minutes from start to finish.
