Fuel Efficiency
So I talked about how the new intake was supposed to increase fuel efficiency as well as give me a small boost in HP (No you nerd, not Hit Points, Horsepower). I was skeptical, as well as others who have seen "the tornado" on late night infomercials.
But, truth be told, I've saved a few gallons since the installation. I typically use 1/8 of my tank per day with commuting and socializing (approx. 1.5 gal.), but I've only used 1/4 of a tank since tuesday night. I filled up in Clinton immediately after the installation on a practically empty tank, so, it is easy to see the savings. Even if you discount the drive back that night, and just count Wed-Sunday, that's 5 days X 1/8 = 5/8. Sounds like the ole intake has saved this boy 3/8 so far, which is about $8. A little more of this stuff and I could easily make back the money spent on the kit.

I really cannot argue with scientific results like that.
Honestly, how can you argue with numbers.
Plus, it's on the internet. So .... it's gotta be true.
you've got me there.
