Default changing your air filter .......

changing your air filter, will that increase your gas mileage? and what about cleaning out your fuel injectors?

If you are running the OEM filter, checking it is very easy. Making sure it's clean will help. Replacing it only when necessary. Cleaning out your fuel injectors is not necessary.

A cleaner engine is a happier engine...run a can of Chevron Techron through the fuel if you've got a guilty conscience about the injectors. Just a little extra insurance.
