high fuel prices you gotta keep it in mind...

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.

11L/100Km - I got my Stg II kit in and now mine eats gas like there's no tomorrow!
I don't take it past 5K to ofter either!
It has made my Cobalt very thirsty.
