About $160.00 at Autozone, but I'm pretty sure that I can get them to beat that price.

for stop and go traffic i've noticed accelerating with a throttle position (TPS) of under 26 helps... especially if you can keep it below 25. The range for the TPS goes from around 15 to 80. 15 or 16 being idle, and 80 being WOT. I hardly ever go higher than 35. I'd say 90-95% of driving is under 30.
