Default Tune up today.

I had changed out my plugs 8 months ago, last time with the BKR6E.
They were pretty fresh when I chipped the car, so I just gapped them down to .028 and kept them in.
I put in the BKR7E plugs today. The old ones weren't very bad, but hopefully I can get a few more miles out of a tank of gas. I'm not swapping back to my stock ecu no matter how high gas prices get.

Just go easy on the throttle then. Mileage will actually be higher with the chip. Also gas just dropped to $2.91/gal here in FL. Went down about $0.20/day for the better part of a week

I usually do. I just filled up almost 14 gallons at $3.15/gal for 93 octane on Sunday. 87 octane was $2.95. This is good, since they just cut out the overtime at work for me.

I'm loving the 3.45 in IL. That's for Shell and BP but the crappier stations like Mobil or Marathon are @ 2.89 for 87

binghamton is 3.69. it went down .30 few days ago. i only fill to half tank and then drive because the extra ~6 or so gallons are quite heavy lol. i rly don't care how much gas is unless it goes to like 4.50. now you've just reminded me to check my plugs. i don't think they're that bad either but cleaning them will def help a bit

Just filled up this morning at $3.20 for 93, just outside of DC. It was up near $4 for a while there. +1 on checking the plugs, my mechanic said they were ok but seeing is believing....
