Update on the fuel filter change.

Update on the fuel filter change.
So it has been now about 2 months since i changed the fuel filter after almost 100k miles. I have originally posted a 2mpg improvement but during the past few weeks, gas milege has been improving even more. After driving 270 miles on 15 gallons almost all in city; that comes to about 18 mpg. Before the fuel filter change i was getting very low numbers close to 14-15 mpg in city. So for those who are putting this off and have a high milege car, try it, you will see am improvement in your gas milege.

I did this to my car about 10k miles ago...I didn't see any improvements in MPG...although my filter was very brownish in color....it didn't look extremely dirty...but enough to justify a replacement....It's not that hard to replace on the vq35 setup...I would say go for it and people stop bi+chin about changing it....however for the vq30, I know their setup is a little different...according to that one guy's write up (spirills)...so it might be a little harder
