Only problem I see is the K/N. I wouldnt complain about 20 mpg.

I agree !!! Ditch the K&N and get a dry filter like BHAF or Amsoil

I think you have worse mileage because.....you have too much fun driving it [laugh]

Sometimes my friends stretch the truth to help out their own causes![nonono] I would bet your right foot got a little heavier after you contracted Moditis.[guitar] I lost some mpg the first couple weeks after installing just a 4" exhaust, but I've got it back to around 20 mpg now, $3.69/gallon does that to me.[coffee]

I wish i was getting 20. I drive like a bat outta hell though. Only getting around 14mpg doing 75mph

Try $3.95 a gal.
I'm suffering from terminal sticker shock.
I'd really like to know how they can get away charging more for fuel than gasoline, we all know it cost much less to produce diesel & yes, I've heard of "supply/demand" economics, I've also heard of "rape".
