I think it's only $40 bucks.

Plus the cost of premium every time you fill up.

I've only got the 24 gallon tank. HOWEVER, I'm in the Chicago area. So premium up here is still at $3.00 or more per gallon.

When gas is cheaper I'll throw premium in and run my bully dog on level 3. Just can't figure out why my fuel mileage gets worse.

I ran 93 on level 1, and timing at +2 with my edge in my 04 Screw, and the thing was sucking down gas like crazy. So I decided to switch it to level 3 and try it out, and the difference is night and day. The mpg jumped from 9 to 15-16 just like that... I don't really get on the gas all that much, but when I do it's almost scary... with the edge and free-flow exhaust, it hauls some serious *****...

I used 93 octane on level 3 for a few months, it felt like a power boost and I had no problems related to it. Since gas prices are starting to go up again, I have gone back down to 89 octane on level 2.

Level 2 with 91 Octane and timing bump of 1.50. Love the throttle response and 17-18 mpg (hand calculated). I drive 40 miles a day at a top speed of 55 mph. When I feel like dropping $40, I will order a custom 89 tune from PHP.
