93 octane kicks mo-fo ass, the engines really like it. But if your like me and every mile per gallon matters, you'll save your receipts, then from jan 1st of one year to Dec 31st you gather them all and go through by date and add the price up and find out how much you spent. Then, take that $4 per fill up, and multiply it by the weeks you filled up, and find the price, and find out if that extra few bucks was worth it.

I figure I spend close to $200-$250 extra I guess a year, I :dunno:

That is a good bit more money but it's better for the engine too, I figure

It is probably worth the extra Cash. I would love to get it soon just gotta decide on my exhaust set up first. I am going to save up a lot of cash this year and pay the truck off more and more before I go any crazier :D

If I hadn't just spent over $500 on my truck this past month I would have saved the $590 my wife spent on a new mattress. The only thing I really didn't need to get for the truck was the edge but since I got such a great deal I couldn't pass it up! The ball joint, balancing, camber kit, alignment and brakes were al necessary. Now I'm scared of sending in the edge to be converted to a Gryphon cuz I dont know what she'll want to buy! :dunno:

Finally! I know you're going to put up some pics here, but be sure to put some in the sticky, por favor. Can't wait to see the results. If you have any questions let me know. What days are you doing it?
