Stage 2, good power... but

I was wondering if anyone with Stage 2 could shed a little light on exactly how worse the fuel economy is? I like power as much as the next guy, but with these f*&#@*g high fuel prices you gotta keep it in mind...

i didn't see much of a drop.... and if you do see a drop right away, relax, cuz it's probably just you getting on it more often.

IT"S on a BOOST BYPASS. So if you stay out of boost then it really does not effect it. I went 50 miles and got 42 MPG with stage 2 and 2.8 pulley. I went a total of 70 miles on a 1/4 of tank of gas. Know I was going slow really slow. About 60 the hole way. I also had to go through 20 miles of stop and go traffic.

Do not let the fear of gas prices scar you out of stage 2. The car gets just the same or better on nice driving but if you flog it then you will pay the price. That's were the " you have to pay to play" part come in.
