    What gas do you use?

    have a 91 tune (highest octane in this area) but gas just went up to $3.30 for this octane so I just changed the tune to 89 $3.10 a gallon; 87 is $3.20 a gallon -- the 89 is subsidized for the 10% ethanol; car still runs fast but it save $3.00 a tank when i fill up.

    Got my 07 Alloy metallic
