CAI and mpg?

Does having a Cold air intake affect our gas milliage at all? Either way? Dumb question, maybe. just wondering.

think about it like this. when u add air, the computer adds fuel. sooo, if ur adding fuel that would mean that ur mpg would go down.

It does a bit, but you must also factor in the driving style. Your most likely going to drive more agressively to hear the nice engine sound at higher RPM;s [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

You will notice a very slight decrease in miles per gallon if anything at all. Trust me, an intake or exhaust will make your foot get real heavy just because of the sound. It is worth the trade off imo.
