Regardless of the cost, it helps on the first trip of the day and it saved about 5 cents a day during the non-summer months.
Finding a good independent garage is a good idea to save money too! Also if you get them to quote the job beforehand they can't make you pay more even if "complications" occur with out your permission.

Back to the topic at hand, best mod was the scanguage, which adjusted the driver. Then air pressure and that's all I've done really. Both cars have block heaters already so when it gets closer to winter I'll set up the timer and cords.
