Fuel consumption with CAI?

Jfj60616 · 12-01-2008, 10:32 AM

Has anyone noticed any differences in fuel consumption while using any of the cold air intakes? ie. Vishnu dual cone or Burger motorsports. I know that when driving spirited it will go down but has anyone noticed any changes while driving on the highway at a steady state?

I have the AFe dual intake and I average somewhere between 24-26 mpg when driving normally.About 18-20 mpg when I put the hmmer down.

It's difficult to gauge because with the CAI, I tend to drive the car much harder but with that said, there should be a slight gain in mileage with the intake.
