Gas mileage AFTER intake install
Has anyone noticed an increase, decrease or no change with their gas mileage after installing an intake?
Yeah, I know this topic of gas mileage as been beat to death but I’m just wondering about any change specifically related to an intake installation.
Thanks.

Damn. That is what I was afraid of... a reduction in MPG.
I'm getting such horrible mileage - probably around 13-14. It'll just suck if it gets any lower.
Oh well.

dookie, the way i figure out my MPG is that i first fill the gas tank up to the top and then i zero out my trip computer, then once i get to almost empty i then fill it back up again and find out from the recipt how much gas i put in gallons, take the number off the trip computer and divide it by the number of gallons including 2 decimal points. example:
200 miles on trip computer
10.00 gallons filled on gas recipt.
= 20 MPG
It is the MOST accurate way of doing it, since you know exactly how many gallons where consumed., thus that is the number of gallons it will take to fill it back up to the top.
