ah, cool, thanks for that. I haven't seen the blurbs on these pieces of kit. Sounds like the argument for using higher octane fuel — if you increase power output, then the fuel must stretch further if you maintain normal acceleration etc and don't get carried away with it all...

$1500 on hardware upgrades is a lot to spend to use MORE fuel, but if you're saving something over time, I guess that's a good pretext — and it's good for the planet... :
