When you install a Stage 1 kit, gas consumption will be VERY slightly higher.

Since the kit gives it more power you wont have to rev the #@%& out of it to get the power so you will be using about the same amount of gas as you were before.

If you still rev it out you will probably only loose a bit,  but I would sacrifise that anyday for a better and stronger pulling GS.

Cheers

I get 240 miles to the tank and thats with ALOT of hard acceleration. and the occasional 9%+ MPH...I race twice during that time frame as well. so if you drive legit you shoudl have awhile before the next fill up...
