I know its simple, but I just put in a K&N filter this afternoon. Got it at Advance for 49.99. Car felt a little better driving home. I didnt notice a big change.

I also filled up on gas. Got 27 mph. Not bad. Taking a trip on Friday. I want to see how it does on the open road.

Will the K&N improve gas mileage?

Yeah, 27 mpg. Sorry for the error. Actually, tonight it was 27.7. I went 190 miles on 6.86 gallons. The sticker said 19 to 26. I guess its doing better than the rating.

How'd you figure you went 190 miles on 6.86 gallons? Did you fill up car, then drive 190 miles, then re-fill and see how many gallons you put in after 190 miles?

Yes. That's how I do it all the time. Fill up, reset odometer, drive for a few days, fill up again. I filled up on Tuesday because it was 7 cents off of premium at the local station.

K&N is supposed to help air flow easier, you wont feel a BIG difference, your engine might run a lil cooler. as for mpg? i doubt it. maybe it'll give you an extra 2mpg?
