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

Sometimes my friends stretch the truth to help out their own causes! I would bet your right foot got a little heavier after you contracted Moditis. 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.

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".
