fuel economy affect
But remember fuel economy is directly related to the weight of you right foot. You use the power you burn more fuel!

Install Cost?
whats the install cost?
I believe the dealer would have to install it for the warranty to be valid?
Lets say I do the work myself, will I beable to drive to the dealership to have them update the ECU or whatever the dealership needs to do?
(If the dealership agrees to that)

The recommended install time at a delaer is 1 hour. So at $90/hr it should cost $90. That being said a dealer does not have to stick to the reccommendation. A self install is ok but the vehicle should not be driven with the new sensors and old cal. SO getting the HHR to the dealer would be a problem unless you have a trailer or a bunch of friends to push.

Dealer charges
In the DFW area most dealers charge 1.0 hour to just re-program. So I don't think you will find many to install the sensors and program for that price. But you may be able to in your area. Also on 2008 and up you can no longer do remote programming. Which means you can't have a tech load the program into a Tech II and bring it to your house. '08 and up are either direct programming or require the use of a MDI which is the Tech II replacement.

But, what is different in the '09s from the '08s to cause the delay?

I don't live in NC and the $94 in shipping has to be a mistake for a couple of small plastic bags. More like $9 in shipping. Anyway this is just an example of a price for this kit that companies are charging.

No mistake on shipping charges. That is how GMPartsdirect makes its money. Check it out at their site. Click on add to card and checkout. it will have the shipping and handling there.
