MPG Question...
for those out there that have K & N and Eisenmann Race.....
Can you guys post what your MPG Avgs are after installation of the airfilter and exhaust? Did they go up or down.
It may be my imagination....but seems mine has dropped when I had thought it would increase? Hmmmm? Perhaps im just driving too fast!
Thank you as always.

Be happy.....I don't think I drive too crazy and I'm lucky to average 15 mpg. I'm currently under a quarter of a tank and I'm at about 180 miles on that tank. Of course almost all of my driving is short trips in town but still.....that's horrible.

with my 99 320 i usually only fill it up half way for about 20$ 91 gas...i got 90miles with it half way with my driving...then i decided next time i put in gas ill drive slow(er) and keep it under 2.5k rpm for the most part...this is city driving...and i got about 130miles...so i guess im a more "mature" driver now...its just tht its so hard for me not to race my friends in their nissans and hondas at school...

i really dont pay attention to the mpg that the car displays. because sometime for long trips it will say around 25-28mpg and stop n go like 20-22mpg. its very consistent witht the 25mpg with all around driving.
and the pic u posted looks about rite. i get about 100miles per quarter tank of fuel. very likely that car started with full tank, and after 136 miles, was just under 3/4 tank

Piece of SH*T
Did you really think it was going to increase MPG with an intake and exahaust? I can't really say since I don't have an eisenmann exhaust but I do have an intake and I definetly didn't gain extra MPG. If anything it should have more HP or TQ but your not going to gain MPG but lose some..If it were to gain MPG, I think everyone would do it don't you think?
