well, in my daily driving (not when I'm trying to have some fun) I rarely exceed 2k rpms, so if the PPK only really has an effect on the 2-3k+ range then I suppose it wouldn't affect mileage as far as I'm concerned. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Anyone out there with the PPK notice a change in gas mileage? Thanks.
