I am thinking of an Apten chip. The question is:

Will I get better mpg with the 91 octane program over the 87 program? I know the performence is much better.

I would like to use the 91 IF my mpg increase makes up the diference for the added cost of premium.

I did a search but could not find this addressed specifically.

All experiences are welcome!!
 






ttt

someone has to have some input...
 






The diference between 87 and 91 is not significant.
However, the diference between stock and chiped it trememdous.
I went from about 240 miles to a tank to about 275 to a tank.
With rather frequent stompings,,,

ya gotta like that. :)
 






Let us know the performance gain when you get the chip installed.
