and the only thing that you installed were the wires??
i reset everything and after a week of driving in both heavy city traffic and interstate, i am now getting +1.5 mpg. i am going to continue looking at this.

OK, what do you mean 'reset everything' ??
Does this mean you remove all modifications (wires/intake/etc) and went back to stock??
I really would not expect the wires to take away MPG. I experienced slight gains.
This is why I asked if you did several mods at one time.
If you did, then I would not be surprised.

My K&N drop-in did cause my MPG to go down in my 05 Sedan. This was my wife's car, so I feel confident about the drop.
Because you know, some driver's rt foot gets heavier after adding mods!! :chuckle:

i just reset the console as far as calculating the MPG. i am getting better mileage now. i am more interested with my total, lifetime mileage so we see what that lookslike.

ordered my intake last night! after a few glasses of the new woodford reserve bourbon...;)

I calculated the gains in MPG by dividing the number of miles by the number of gallons when filling the tank. Try doing ti this way.

I'll be making it a point to be on here more. Still settling into the single life after the wifey pulled her ish.

I'll probably send a kit to Matt for a staff review. He's had his G37 for long enough to notice the differences.

I'd wait until I get done with my oil testing to see if I am looking at a new engine or not :(

So would I....I have a couple customers here in Vegas who have propositioned me(they are p0rn stars) and I'd rather not.

FWIW I did notice a much smoother vehicle operation and noticed better shifting in the transmission. Nothing like the Transgo VB kit - but it was nice.
