Man since my install on the CAI from AEM my gas has been poor could the result of better air going into the engine give it poor gas mileage? I mean more air=more combustion correct? I'm getting like a stinking 18-20miles/gallone in the city driving. When I press on the gas hard for a full tank every so often then my mileage drops even more like 14mile/gallon. It really stinks! I put in premium one time and calculated it for some damn reason I got back up to 25mph/gallon in casual city driving and hard driving here and there. Does anyone know the answer to this?

yeah its weird......

Yeah, it's weird! No offense taken on the gas stepping yeah I did it when I first got and it was loud and it was kinda cool, but I have stopped doing it. I have recently changed my spark plugs with wires. No, I only did the premium thing onces to see what happens and stopped after that to try to figure out the problem not avoid it. I have had my CAI for about 4 months now! Does the cone filter get dirty faster than regular filters due to sucking in more air? I have not checked how dirty it is lately maybe thats the problem who knows? I"m just trying to figure it out.

to be honest.......

To be honest I do drive through dust storms. Here in arizona we have something called monsson season and its' dust storms instead of like hawaii rain storms with winds. We have dust storms with winds it happens for like 2-3 months it was a month before monsoon started and is ending or has ended. I should check and get to ya about this.

I checked.....

I check my intake filter today and it looks like crap! There is dirt like brake dust dirt all over my filter. It's probably all the dirt accumulated over monsoon season! Man, its' nasty filthy!
