There's also this one I've noticed online, supposedly a "Fuel Saving System" called

"Power Performance Fuel Ionizer" from this site:

EnginePerformanceChip.com

Price: $49.98

*** There's no guarantee that any of them will unless you try the cheapest one. And of it doesn't work like advertised, then you can invest more on other brands or to your liking.

I don't know about those chips but I would go with the tried and true keeping you tires properly inflated and regular oil changes and air filter changes.

All this stuff is crap. Most are simply circuits that trick the PCM into advancing the timming or adding more fuel. These cars do mot have chips in the PCM that can be swapped out for one whith a more aggressive tune. Also you will notice that these companies are selling the same chips to everyone regardless of what car they own. If you want to be able to retune these cars your gonna need something like E management.
