Today I changed my fuel filter. Man it makes a big difference. I was getting about 18-19L/100km before I changed it. Now i'm getting 15.5-16'sl/100km. I'm saving about 2-3L/100km. That's about 8-12L:evilhaha I'm saving every time I fill up. In a few weeks gonna clean MAF Senor If i can get at it and clean out throttle body.

I have an 02 Pathy as well, but when I spoke to my service advisor at the dealership last year, he told me the '02's and up do not have a traditional fuel filter like the earlier models.The only filter is in the tank as part of the fuel pump, or so I was told.I've also looked under my truck more than once, and haven't been able to find it.So, I'm extremely curious: where is the filter located on your '02, and was it difficult to replace?
