Any automotive related store should be able to order you one.

Did he say how much? I am curious because I have a 160 stat, and get around 21 mpg fwy. If I can get better with a 180 stat, just wondering how much...considering gas here in Seattle is now over the $4 for premium.

I get about 19mpg hwy and have a 160 stat. That was the first "mod" I did to the car and well worth it for $10-15. When I got it tuned @ PCMForLess.com by Bryan, it was recommended to have a 160 tstat.

no he didn't say by how much, but he said it would effect gas mileage so i said screw that at 4.20$ gallon here not even worth 1-2 mpg imo he also said for a DD it doesn't really matter to have it running any cooler

It's not going to affect it that much.
