More power=more fuel burned=lower gas mileage

That makes sense.

I usually could go 20miles/gallon in the city.

Now i'm at 15mile/gallon in the city.

Does this make sense then?????? From laughin's explanation, the answer is yes.

I have AEM CAI and Tanabe Racing Medallion and LevelTen racing tranny....

More air flow, more gas flow.

if you have a different tranny that may be your gas mileage loss. i still get about 360 to a tank and i have intake, exhaust, header, pullies, no cat, and a cherry on top.

Yes, i have different parts in my automatic tranny. LevelTen changed my torque converter, clutches, reaction plates etc for transferring power to the ground faster. I have AEM CAI and Tanabe Racing Medallion.

I just got my 60k done at Honda. I don't think they changed my spark plugs tho because the stock ones on 5th gens say to change every 105k. Should I have them change my spark plugs, caps & gaskets??????
