Dammit Nate you're not helping my finances. You're almost as bad as Gord! :)
The SPI is the consummate gas-saver. I have an auto and I'm high 20s - low 30s around town on a light foot. Even with my mods I'm averaging near-stock highway mileage too.
If you mod smart (intake, exhaust, UDP, chip, TB) you can make decent gains, even with the SPI.
If you're serious about power, consider a N/A buildup. They've got the guts at Escort Focus Performance.
It's something I'm considering :)
