Hardly worth bothering for the neglible gas you'll save.

If you want to save gas pay more attention to how smoothly and slowly you accelerate. And you might save $20/year.

Or you could not spend the $20 on junk and spend it on gas and enjoy your car.

Default "saving gas"

not a stupid question but as said not worth the effort. If you want to save gas put the SRT intake on. Get more power and better gas milage! That's what I call a deal!!
