I'll go against you on that one, Naz. :P
I ran for a couple of days with 91 in my car with an otherwise identical setup (3" FS CAI, 2.5" MBRP flex-back) before the tune and the car was noticeably peppier than stock. After a reflash, it becomes a force of will to keep it under 4000 RPMs in 1st before the 1-2 upshift. And that's an auto ;)
It's too bad it's an "economy car" and not Ford's smallest performance vehicle anymore, because I wish they all came with a proper tune and 91-only requirements right from the factory.
As for mileage, 320KMs (and higher) is easily obtainable on 20L or so.
If you're going to keep the car Nathan, go nuts and get a flasher. It'll only serve you well in the short AND long run.
