And that's because you can't stop flooring it right?

how bad? With my Stillen intake the mileage is lower because I rev it much higher. But when I drive normally I can definately see improvement. For example, under normal driving conditions the mileage might go from say 9L/100Km to 8.2L/100km etc.

yeah, i noticed the same thing, but not drastic. my per tank mileage went from ~23.5 to 22.8
i'm attributing that to my heavy foot cuz now i'll floor it to go one block just so i can hear the intake work
