I had an AEM SRI and it raised gas mileage by 2mpg. When I took it off to go back to stock, it went back down. The FIPK is probably the same. Usually they increase mileage, as long as your driving style stays the same. Alot of people like to drive harder to hear the intake, then the mileage drops.

Rep Power: 0 yeah...I like to slam on the throtle then close it quick. It sounds similar to a BOV....now please don't flame on me if you actually have a BOVon your ride.

Rep Power: 291 ditto...but it is the best intake for our cars...3rd intake for me, and this outperforms AEM CAI!
DO a search for the dynos on K & N FIPK II, Injen, and Aem.

Rep Power: 344 duno about the FIPK, since I haven't drive econo style for awhile..
but when I had the drop in filter.. an obvious 3-5 mpg gain. thats a butload.
went from average of 31 to 35-37 for me (mix of city and highway driving at high speed)
but even driving with the occasional lead foot, I still get around 30+ with the FIPK. so its not killing mpg or anything.

Rep Power: 0 52,000 miles and making 400 easy on regular unleaded and with no other mods other than my GReddy Evo Cat-back. I would think that you would be close to that atleast.

>> F***ing Toyota dealer (where I bought my used Honda) overfill my oil....and i think they don't use syn oil...
NGK Iridium IX
>>my spark plugs right now might probably killed by the previous owner....might be the cause of my low MPG....
