What is everyones gas mileage like with the V6 and K&N Intake. I have the intake and custom hks axle back exhaust. I have noticed that the gas mileage has gotten worse

............ I still drive the same distance to and from work. anyone else have this same problem? i have only had the exhaust and intake for about 1500 miles.

thanks Justin

Majority of the guys on the forum have only replaced the drop-in filter. Maybe the guys with the intake will chime in soon.

I have drop-in. During the winter, I get about 21mpg. Now that the weather is warming up...im getting 24-25mpg

I mostly drive in highway with the usual stop and guy during rush hour.

i have the intake and i average about 21-25. Depends on how heavy my foot is for that tank.

I've got the intake too.

Doesn't seem like a huge decrease in fuel economy or the such, maybe a from 1-3mpg less then spec'ed, but still not too bad. Fairly expected with an intake, especially if you end up driving harder anyways.

mine went down b/c the awesome sounds makes you want to drive harder!

it will go down because like above said, u will step on it more whether you realize it or not.

probably getting worse because you're pushing higher RPM's to hear the "whooosh" sound...

Only reason it would go in is if you messed up/clogged the MAF.

sucking more air requires more fuel to burn efficiently
