All the K&N will do for you is make some air sound close to intake sounds, and save you some 50 cents paper filters... On our cars there just won't be any gains with anything like that.

It's a long discussed topic in the other forums.

Basically our cars are built for fuel efficiency and cost cutting (on Honda's end) so the fuel system doesn't force anything through, instead just lets it flow naturally.

So our cars are already working at peak capacity and won't get much gains from any bolt-on.

You'll need to do a lot more than just reprogramming the ECU to get rid of the effortless fuel system...

Yah, can't really beat $30 a full tank with gas prices these days.

My buddy has a Merc 430 SUV, eats him $80 of premium gas for 450Km... Damn V12.

I do noticed that it *did* seem smoother when I did a tank of 92 last week when it was cheap.

I think I'll be alternating 3 fills of regular with one fill of 92.

I think Petro has the best gas.

Yup Esso gas sucks.

I used to go to Sunoco when I used the touchless wash at Warden/Steeles, but since I lowered didn't want to risk scraping on the rail.......
