true, but at the same time I see tons of ppl down grading their tuning, why is that? Cuz of economy & gas price. 4 of my close friends detune their STI. Why? Cuz they can't keep it up w gas price. One of those friend make over 55k annually. Reality every week filling up $4 a gallon (for 91 octane here) do kill the wallet even for 55k annually ppl. To certain point, no it doesn't matter the gas, BUT when it start to see your wallet on fire, of course it does matter.
