Chuck:
Your best bet is to hang onto it so you have a spare in case you ever
need it. You will NOT get a replacement stock PCM from Mopar for $100
(which is what they give you for returning yours). As far as the
difference in gas prices, the way I look at is this: The difference
between 87 and 93 is ususally not more than $.20 per gallon usually much
less here). When the low fuel light comes on I need about 17 gallons. At
$.20 per gallon times 17 gallons, that's $3.40 more per fillup.
Considering all the fun I have with the additional power, it's well worth
it to me. Multiply the difference in cost for 87 to the price for 92
(per the PCM) and see how much it costs to have 25 more HP.
YMMV,
