But hell, if tuned perfectly, I'm sure he can still get stockish mpg off full boost. That's just my thoughts though. If you have any insight, please share.

gas and tires are the two last things I worry about on a car like ours 
If you can't afford the gas you couldn't afford the car anyway.
I get better mileage then a new tahoe... so Im friendly to the environment
