What are they about $100?

Thats what 36 gallon of gas?

So it will cost you about a tank and a half worth of gas money to get better gas milage?

Better be one heck of an MPG increase to pay off before you sell the truck.

No but they make a neat paper-weight.

I've had a TBS on now for about 3-4 months, and I haven't noticed much of anything except as everyone says the whistle. I'm actually planning on pulling it off this weekend and using it as a fishing weight in the bay.
