Installed AEM DRYFLOW air filter - quest for better gas mileage
#17
Does she do lots of short trips? I find that kills fuel economy even worse than a lead foot.

Finished my tank yesterday
I went 395.5 miles and filled up 12.967 gallons. That is 30.50mpg! The range showed 61 miles left when i filled up. The info screen showed 32.6mpg average, so there is about a 2 mpg discrepancy.
So there you have it. I averaged about 26mpg on my first two tanks and this most recent one netted 30.5mpg. Driving style between all 3 tanks were very similar but this recent tank had just a little more highway. This is not scientific and conclusive by any means, but it does show a good mpg bump by switching to a slightly higher flowing drop in filter. I chose aem because i think they make a filter that has the perfect balance between filtration and airflow to help with mpg and performance and plus it doesn't require oiling. I did not notice any performance gains. Im a fan, both my cars saw gains on the first tank with aem dryflow filter. No, i don't work for AEM lol I just want to share with you guys my experience.

Glad you are getting good increases in power and efficiency. It would be interesting to see what you get with a brand new OEM filter? I might have a brand new IS350 OEM filter somewhere in the garage. I will donate it for testing if you are up for it (hopefully it will fit the IS250 as well).

It's true. But i was cruising at between 70-75 on the highway with ac for most of this tank. 60 would yield even better results
Yes, no oiling, better filtration and has better balanced air flow. I'd never run a K&N

Winter was brutal and knocked my average from about 29-30 to 25-27mpg but i am driving more city however these numbers are still pretty good for this car.

I have been looking for new performance air filter lately but can't decide between f-sport and this AEM. Price is more less the same. Both are dry filters with no oil.
Does anyone know is there any major difference between those two?
