If you live in an area with a lot of traffic like I do (Miami), it is probably not worth it. I have had the upgrade (Speedparts Stage II) for a year, and yes, you will feel a big difference in performance for a while, but then your brain will adjust to it and the car will just feel like it did before. Don't get me wrong, I like the upgrade, but if I had to do it again, I wouldn't bother. On top of that, I am feeling like I want a new car again, so perhaps I will lose the upgrade money anyway.
As for gas mileage, I have seen an increase of about 1-2 MPG. No reliability problems to report.
