I did the same thing. I found the reason why was that now i have the power so i am getting on her more. My driving habits change from when its in stock mode to when i have it tuned.

On the highway that is good. Keep it there and try not to get into her if you want it to be better in town. I know how you feal. Im always trying to out do everything and i never give her any rest. I suffer for this in gas. LOL You can change your MPG's more with your driving habits and rutine maintance then with and mod.

NO and NO. Spacers are a joke. Most people will end up taking theres off due to teh fact that you see a decrease in power and MPG's plus there loud. I had one on mine when i bought it and i took it off. There nothing but paper wieghts. Injectors are great if you hvae the pump and need for more fuel. As it is you wont be able to benifit from more fuel. What gears do you have in the rear end?

Putting 3.73's or even 4.10's would make a big power increase and better MPG's in town. Would really bring her to life. Thats my next upgrade. Parts are resonably cheap but labor is what youll pay for. It takes asome knowledge to do it. Not something to tackle unless you have someone that has done them before.
