Gas mileage with gen III intake

Thanks Sam. Getting a tune after doing modifications can help with mpg.

Intake + Cats + CBE = a little better mpg. Now add 4.08 gears 700 rpm more at 100km and your milage drops, 2800 vs 2100 in 7th. 4.5 mpg at least. 37 mpg to 32 mpg, but it does the 1/4 in 12.800.
Small price to pay for performance.

More horsepower takes more fuel (part of the "no free lunch" axiom)...Though the differences should be minimal under less than WOT condidtions....

More Air means more fuel. The Maf will compensate.
