90% is a change in the sound with a small increase in power (3-7 maybe). If your anything like me, you'll want to step on it all the time and you won't notice an increase in mileage at all. If you baby it, you may notice a slight increase (but that is debatable).

I got about 1 to 2 MPG with it compared to when my intake path was all OEM... but like others said, you will probably find yourself wanting to drive harder because the car sounds a lot cooler with the Z-Tube and an aftermarket air filter on there. I measured mine over a long period of time and the economy went up from about 22 MPG average to 23.7'ish fairly consistently.

Gas Mileage............?

If your concerned about mileage leave you G totally stock. That way you
won't be tempted to hear the cool sounds available after making the mods
most of us have. Not to mention your tires will last longer......haha
