My daily commute is 2/3rds cruising around 50 on rural roads, then 70+ on freeway, then 5 mins or so of stop-and-go. First two tanks were during break-in (no trips above 5000 RPM): 27.5 mpg, 29 mpg Third tank after break-in (at least one trip/day to redline), and overall more agressive driving : 27.5 mpg All tanks were during heavy AC use. I think this is pretty impressive for a performance car. I imagine with less A/C use and less agressive driving, I could easily break 30 mpg.

Nope, those things do NOT count as an intake system in my book. Why? Because a complete intake system starts at the intake air horn and terminates at the cylinder heads, and as such includes filter element, filter housing, plumbing between the filter housing and the throttle body, throttle body (if so equipped), intake plenum, intake runners and fuel injector ports (if not mounted in the heads). The K&N system terminates at the throttle body best case scenario, and further upstream worst case. Best Regards, Shipo
