Post With my new AIRMAS the car is more thirsty on gas

Hi i changed the air mas sensor on my car 2 weeks ago the car runs great now and is more fun to drive, but i noticed it's more thirsty now when i drive on mixed driving( half legal driving/ half racedriving) is it not supposed to be the opposite that the car is less thirsty cuz the mixture of air/fuel is now correct=?

all of you who changed your maf did you also notice the extra fuel consumption when you drive legal on speeds

When the MAF goes, the car will run very lean,dangerously lean at full throttle. So there goes the answer to your honda like gas economy b4.

hey buddy excuse me for my poor english,i don't understand a word of this,can u clarefie this more thurough! what do you mean with honda like gas economy? what is dangerously lean at full throttle meaning?thanks again

with the old mas it should read 7,5 - 14 kg/air=my was reading 16 kg/air
but the volts was all ok in reading area so my old mas never went in limpmode

new mas is reading 12kg/air/fuel? during depending weather conditions this was checked yesterday with the computer, the car is fast and furious but the fuel consumption is not good, i have no other faulty codes

It does not aways trigger the CEL. My car and many others were perfect examples.
