i had cold air intake for a month and it was draining my gas

is it true more air flow ...more gas??
cuzz now i took it out and i save a bunch any one ever had this problem with cold air?

 

i think so, which is why i left my stock air box. 33mpg ftw

 

haha oh yeh! i was like hmm i thought it increase gas mileage.. lies. but hey i got more power but kinda of thought about it and since gas price is so high i would just stick to stock now

 

Yeah, I thought the same thing hahah. I guess not dude.

 

Blahs. waste of money.

 

My AEM full CAI gave me improved mileage. 'Shrugs'

 

ii have a aem sri and i don't notice gas decrease =\ i hit vtec 1-3x every fill up and sitll manage 30

but that takes effort to haha i drive uber slow when i'm not disrupting traffic

 

hmm.? i tested both and the stock give u more mileage and the cold air give u power but drain gas haha ill guess ill give speed a rest and do stock.

 

you sure the decreased mpg is not from you giving more throttle to hear the intake? i doubt an intake would decrease your mpg if your driving style stayed exactly the same.

same here... I think maybe his foot got a little heavier

 

i wish i can answer your question but I cant tell if my v2 cai does affect good gas mileages because My car need tune up asap.

x2 little more power makes ur feet alittle more heavier......!

 

it is a fact that colder air will give you decreased mileage versus warm air...this also comes into play in the winter when you experience about 10% decreased mileage(at least i do) in combination with engine struggling to stay warm by burning more gas...

 

another thing you can check is if your filter is dirty because it's so close to the ground and dirt can get in easier clogging it up

 

i shift at 2.5-3.0 rpm!! and i can hear it suck air!! and the gas moving slowly down.
since i change it back to stock it save gas but less power.

 

if U cant afford to spend $$$ on gas then GET KN FILTER. It will save lot gas!

 

yea i replaced my filter witha k&n one the other day and WOWWWW!! i changed it halfway through a tank and now i'm at the bottom of my tank...
from topped off to half i usually get 120 miles
from half to almost e(w/ k&n filter) i got one forty something

 

it wont be enough of a decrease to matter

 

i can afford it but it just i only ran cold air and didnt even get to put my other parts and it kills the gas so much and plus money dont grow on tree.s

 

my gas mileage hasnt changed wit intake exhaust. i get 35 on the hwy and close to 30 round town in my gsr

 

i think it does hurt a lil bit but it depends on ur driving habit also..
i shift at 2k everytime and i get 35mpg c/h mix..mostly city though..my max speed is usually around 60mph..and i have an ebay sri with aem filter, ctr cams, exhaust, header, high flow cat, and skunk 2 pro IM..so it's really how u drive it..keep the rpms low and u'll save gas..
i fill up with BP 92 premium....i've used Shell 91 Vpower&lt;&lt;highest shell grade i could find around here, and i usually get 29-30mpg..so i switched to BP..

 

I actually get better gas milage with my fujita cold air

 

wouldn't it make sense to get better mileage with a cold air intake? considering that when its cold there are more 02 molecules around and allows for a fuller combustion then regualer warm air. right ?

 

shifting at 2k isn't that a just a little low to be shifting? I shift at 3k at the lowest

 

Well think about this the more air you take in the more fuel your car is going to use to even the mixture and get the good air/fuel ratio for best combustion possible. So I woud say it would drain more fuel.
