Default Re: Mileage

I am getting 11 miles on average. With the stock set up intake I was getting just over 10. I had a CAI on the truck when I bought it and did not like having to oil the filter and likes the stock set up so I converted to stock and had an immediate drop in MPG from 11 to 10. I noticed that on the CAI system, the mass air flow sensor did not have the mesh screen on it. I removed the mesh screen on the stock one and the MPG went back up to 11. I remember doing this same thing on my Corvette years ago as the mesh screen really cuts down the air flow. It does leave the sensor wire exposed but as long as you have an air filter, there should not be any debris getting in there to begin with.
