It shouldn't. The ECU will go back to last program. Also, after you load your program make sure you step into it quite a bit. The computer will learn driving styles. (At least that's what I have heard)

Tell me about it. I am in Milwaukee & we have the same prices you have. In fact, it wasn't that long ago when IL. gas prices were ALWAYS about 20c cheaper that WI. Wis. Sucks.
