It appears that most everybody replying has a pre '03 Expy. Does anyone have any comments on chips/tuners for the '03-'04 Expy with the new computers?

freek,

Do you have yours tuned to run premium? If so, I'll bet that hurts at the gas pump at the moment!

The chip can't be detuned. I do run regular unleaded unless I'm towing. Even with Reg it is still 45$ to fill the beast! IMHO it is well worth it! What other vehicle is on the road that can haul all your family, all thier stuff, and still haul a camper or trailer or boat and still fit in a standard size garage! Oh and by the way.... the other auto maker in competition doesn't count because it wears a bowtie and they're not allowed in my driveway or garage!

freek,

I know what you mean! The pleasure of driving my 98 is worth what it costs to fill the tank...besides - what is the alternative? I'm sure not going to drive ONLY gas-sippers. My Festiva is my "errand car"...the Expy is for trips of more than a few miles...We gotta be able to enjoy ourselves, right?
