You should get bettter MPG...search the 2005+ forum for the many different threads on CAIs please

I didn't noticed any improovement in fuel economy but heck, i love the way the car pulls now, the fact that its faster now makes me step on the gas more frequently = worst mpg than stock LOL

I got 14mpg for the first 1000 miles or so. It worked it's way up to 17-19by 3k and at 6k I cruise 75-90with avg 20-21. This is all with the stock set up. I ordered a brenspeed tune and bbk cai that sould be here any day now. If I get 1 or 2 mpg better with the unitI would be very pleased. I did notice the last few fill up I started using 91 in place of 87 to get ready for my tuner and it dropped to a solid 18.5 this week. which I find kind of confusing?? anyways hope this helps

I have the Steeda cold air intake. I love it. I did notice a decrease in mpg only because I wanted to floor the car even more... I dont think Steeda is the way to go when it comes to pushing the most horsepower possible...

I have the C&L and my mpg increased to 26-28mpg.

I always used to average around 18.9 to 19.1mpg judging off the trip computer. I got the 93 octane tunes and a JLT CAI from B*machips, and have been getting 21mpg. It's also been really hot and muggy here lately, and I've been running the air a lot, and getting on it a lot more too.

The tune makes more power yes, but it makes the car run so much more efficiently, which is were the mpg improvement comes from.

I've never checked my mpg and couldn't care less. Buy a Prius if you care about mpg. I drive it like I stole it. CAI + tune increased smiles per mile. For me, that's enough.
