Is this rig of yours an auto or 5 speed? I have an 06 5 speed 24,000 miles i'm getting 30mpg with the cold here in MN. last summer with 11,000 on it i got 33-37.Hoping for the same this year.thinking about the plugs ,wires and the cold air intake . The local mechanic told me to remove the gutts of the fender with the air box and replace the air filter with a k&n that would be a poor mans cold air intake system. anyone ever heard of this?

#175 of 276 K&N Air Filters. Worth the Price? by flaaveo

Sep 07, 2008 (7:21 am)

If someone has already asked this, I missed it. I have used the K&N air filters before in other cars and trucks, and barely notice any difference in 'horsepower or mileage increase'. It wasn't worse, but barely noticed any improvement. At $44.00 a piece, for the Aveo, has anyone put this in their Aveo? With an automatic tranny? Has it made ANY change at all in your miles per gallon, or give it anymore, 'get up and go'?

Considering the small amount of mileage I have on my Aveo after 2.5 years, I just dont if it is worth the cost. Opinons from people that have installed one in their Aveo, would be great.
