New ricerpipe/K&N MPG report
Made 25.8 MPG on the first 350 miles since rice pipe/K&N install on 50/50 mix of town/highway driving and of course I had to plant my foot a few times to see how it was going to run. Similar driving conditions before install was coming out about 22-22.5 MPG. I still need to build a box and clean my TB so I hope it improves even more.

so, some people report losses, and some report gains. do those that report losses have trouble keeping out of this new found power, or does it actually hurt?

that would be the problem, staying out of the throttle, but if your like me, and always in the throttle, then driving style would not change, hence mileage would increase..I hope.
