#2 of 64 Gas millage? by richdag May 21, 2007 (3:18 am)
I read that someone installed a washable high performance air filter such as a K&N or Fram Air Hog and got and increase in MPG. Has anyone here tried it? Just wondering how true this may be. Even a couple mpg would be great.

Replying to: richdag (May 21, 2007 3:18 am) I spoke with a Hyundai service manager who said he put a K&N filter in his wife's Azera and the fuel economy improved. I am planning on doing the same thing myself.

Replying to: allmet33 (May 21, 2007 5:18 am) Your wasting your money...........I have tried several of these filters on different cars and never improved mileage. Just google K&N on the net and see what other people have said about them.

Replying to: hjc1 (May 21, 2007 5:26 am) Now you're the first person I've ever hear say that. Well, it really isn't a waste of money because even if the FE doesn't improve, after you've washed the filter out and put it back in 5 or 6 times, it's paid for itself in that you're not buying a new filter every time it needs replacing. So either way...it'll help you save money in some way. Replies to this message: joe131 (May 21, 2007 2:30 pm) hjc1 (May 21, 2007 3:32 pm) allmet33 (May 22, 2007 4:54 am)
#6 of 64 Gas mileage/ Power/ Fuel economy Improvements? [hjc1] by derrelhgreen May 21, 2007 (11:13 am)
Replying to: hjc1 (May 21, 2007 5:26 am) Amen to that my friend. When you been at it as long as I have, you will learn and know that these filters are not worth any horsepower or fuel economy increase. As far as saving you money, this is not true either. Simply go over to Freds TDI forum and read all about it. It seems that the slightly oily film can get onto the element of your MAF and queer everything up. Have you priced one of those little items yet? When you do, tell me how you are saving any money. As far as gaining any power at all, I had an Impala SS that I ran on a dyno. The fee for testing my SS included two 'pulls' so the operator asked what I wanted to change prior to his running the car the second time. I removed the stock AC air filter element which had 17K miles on it, so it was not new, and quess what? The horsepower readings were exactly the same! Now if you test with no restriction at all from any filter and the H/P readings are exactly the same, how can any aftermarket miracle filter be an improvement? Your mileage may vary.

Replying to: allmet33 (May 21, 2007 7:53 am) Five or six times? How much do those K&N filters cost? Do you mean I'm not going to break even until 90,000 miles or so? Replies to this message: hjc1 (May 21, 2007 3:32 pm) allmet33 (May 22, 2007 4:54 am)

Replying to: joe131 (May 21, 2007 2:30 pm) $36 to $42 depending who you buy it from. The cleaner kit about $10 and you can buy a lot of after market regular filters for alot less and not deal with cleaning and oiling of the K&N filter

Replying to: joe131 (May 21, 2007 2:30 pm) If you buy air filters retail, they run between $10-18. The K&N filter for the Azera was listed at around $60. You do the math.

Replying to: hjc1 (May 21, 2007 5:26 am) I put a K&N in my Jeep Cherokee right after purchase in 1999. It improves airflow greatly, especially on high mountain passes in Colorado. I've never had to buy an air filter. It definitely was not a waste of money. As far improved fuel economy I can't say for sure but I've saved a lot of bucks on paper air filter elements.
