4 months ago, I was getting 21 MPG...Went down to 19...took out the OEM filter and replaced it with "Z" tube/Stillen airbox and now I'm back up to 21 MPG. Thats shifting around 4K to 5K range.

I'm averaging about 16.5mpg but I spend a large portion of my time in my car stuck in gridlock. I rarely ever do any highway driving unless you include 10-20 minutes on the Deerfoot500 (closest thing we have to a freeway) traveling at 65 during any given week. Will better air filters like k&n help?

that explains it all.. sort distance driving where your car has not had the chance to fullly warm up will do that.. the ecu runs the car richer when its cold so it uses more gas
