ECUTUNE stage 1.4 - 87 octane & performance

Guys,

I'm considering the ECUTune 1.4 purchase for the 87 octane function initially. I figure with an average .20 cent difference between 87 octane Regular and 93 octane Premium, it will take a year and ten months, using only Regular gas, for the chip to pay for itself.

My questions are:
1. How is the performance of the engine with Regular
unleaded.
2. Does the chip make a noticeable difference in
performance overall?
3. Would you recommend this upgrade after having it
in your own car?

Thanks

1. I have not experienced a noticeable performance increase or decrease while using Regular.
2. When using premium gas, yes, it makes a big difference.
3. If you want better performance, then yes because it is definately the best bang for the buck performance wise.
