Poor gas mileage
Well I dont know if this is normal but since I installed the injen cai I have experimenting lower and lower gas mileage . Now I'm getting about 235 miles per tank !! Before the cai I was getting 270 -280 miles per tank. Any sugestions ?
if he's gone over 200 miles, and it sounds like he has a few times now, the ecu has had time to adjust itself without a reset. I assume you don't have an ses? I just put mine in, and will let you know how it goes in the next week or so but I generally get around 240 or so before I have to fill up. Driving habits. Do you like the way it sounds? If so you are probably making it sound that way, in other words more throttle than you used to at the RPMS where the resonance is prominent.
I drive pretty agressively and consequently get really bad gas mileage. I'm running CAI, magnaflow 14829 (local shop "custom axelback"), and the pulley and if I shift at 2500 rpms I still see 260-280 per tank, but if I start to get on it at all, usually between 200-220. No complaints, I have fun while doing it.
i just installed my CAI monday with a full tank of gas, now im at half a tank with only 87 miles. i have been driving it pretty hard though but this is ridiculous. i use to get about 140 at half a tank with fairly aggressive driving city and highway. Big Big difference.

I wish I got 200 mpg!!!
I'm guess you meant 20 mpg right? Well, I have an Injen CAI and I just pulled off 30.6 mpg. I'm pretty happy with that number!
