Up to 3600 miles
30.3 mpg. Added the HPS Intake. A little noisy but wifey likes it.
33.4 mpg with a lot of freeway driving as I needed to go to the doggy eye doctor. She had the tumor and the eye removed.
The HPS Intake works okay. Fit is decent as it it 1/8" from the positive terminal on the battery. If things move around, it could wear thru the rubber cover on the term I album and problems arise. Once I figure out the best solution, maybe cutting a half an inch out of it, I will be more relaxed. I have found that it really is only loud/noisy when you start to drive it hard. As in getting enthusiastic away from normal driving. Then you do not even notice it. As stated, wifey likes it.
Called dealer, finally, and they insisted no updates were installed in the computer. So, maybe gas formulation changed? Air kit made no difference in performance. Oh well. I don't think it ever possible to get to the rated 40 mpg the factory thinks it can do on the freeway. I calculate my mileage. Not go by the readout in the dash.
I have the lowering planned along with the Bully Dog tuner. Maybe even exhaust. That I would need to make myself. Borla or Magnaflow? What do you think? Do not want it to sound like a buzz bomb.
All for now, got some motorcycle projects to finish.
