there is a difference, you lose about.. 20% of your gas miliage, honestly. I usually can get 240 out of a FULL gas tank.. and still have one bar left... but now I'm getting about.. 210 to 220, because I drive with the top down during the monring, and at night, when I drive home from work, the top is up.. so you do lose gas miliage. but hey.. its worth it when you feel the nice weather and as you hit 9K in 4th.... thats all I got to say
