the modification that allows you to switch the APR flash on/off through their factory cruise control? It's $150 and I wondering if it is worth it. Does anyone use much if they do have it?

I got that option for free during Xmas sale. It's good to switch it back to stock mode when u take your car to dealer for free service.

does it save on fuel economy?

It greatly depends on your driving habit. I average around 23mpg in chip mode. I shift gear between 3-3.5k rpm most of the time, and floor it about 5k once awhile. About 60% fwy 40% street

I have APR stage 2, Testpipe, exhaust.
RS4 rear sway bar, sub mount, boost gauge
2.0T Quattro Manual

IMHO: I don't have the switch and don't worry about it. I get slightly better mpg with my APR91 than with stock. Long highway trips > 32 mpg. I drive a little harder then average. I'd pass on the switch. I'd also pick the APR91 over the APR93 unless you're sure you can always get 93 octane. The APR93 is likely harder on the engine too.

i figured it was worth it, being able to turn it off and on for when it goes into service. also, i have friends that from time to time may drive me car. i just turn it off so they can't beat on it behind my back..

and also sometimes, if i know im going to be in traffic for a while, i turn it off, so that its not over winding outta first...
