    Name calling huh. I guess calling you a obombo supporter rates you calling me a douche bag. In your world only if your NOT one then I do apologise.

    I'm just going by what you told us. Your looking for someone else to take care of you. Those are just the facts.

    I say leave it on and if you're that worried about the little amount you'll save on gas, I say walk or ride a bike those 5 miles to work and back.

    But that's just me.

    It was worth a try to remove it and see what kind of fuel performance I would get after 2 tanks. I saw a small one but the rear traction was the worst. More tire spinning since it is now raining here in FL every afternoon. It's back on and thought it was a fun test.

    On a side note, I never expected anyone to take care of me at the expense of me testing / saving a few bucks. That was a worst case scenario for me to call someone but as I noted before...I have road side assistance so if I did catch a flat, then I could simply tow it home and swap it out in my garage.

    Thanks all.
