If you wanna save on Gas Mileage... sell your mustang and buy one of those Toyota prius.... I hear they are real economical.

I spent $180 on a CAI, and $300 on tune-up + shocks + FUEL FILTER + etc...

and I don't think I've gained any mpg.. maybe 1 more!!! [:@][:@][:@]

so from my experience and imo, I wouldn't do it..
