You can get better performance, but rarely get lower fuel
consumption. If you want to save money driving, this isn't the way.
Even if there is a fuel savings, it'll never pay off the cost of
the chip. Do Jet Chips require 91-92 octane gas like many others?

If you are looking for any realistic power gains, you have to use 89
or better fuel because the use of 87 severaly limits timing curve
which effect power and MPG. I never use 87 in any of my vehcile even
if they are not chipped or tuned.
