Default Joe Z Intake - Improved MPG?

Has anyone done an analysis before and after the Joe Z intake modification on miles per gallon? I wonder if the intake improves MPGs.

Thanks.

im not sure if that effected me at all
it will probably be hard to gage this since not many people are past the real break in according to some oil sample analysis ive read which people have upwards of 15000 miles
when our car breaks in it gets better
when i first got the car i avg 14.3 to 14.8 L per 100 km
after a few thousand it was in the 13's and now im hitting low 12's im at 22000km

dont think it really helped my MPG but I do a lot of city driving and for some reason I've found that driving in sport mode (w/o driving like a maniac) I get BETTER gas mileage than in regular mode...

ive noticed the same thing, except with sport mode on the highway. consistently 22-24 MPG with some WOT if theres ample room. i didnt get this car for the MPG, but its nice knowing i can still average that high even with the sport mode on.

Interesting... so that's only with the Joe Z intake or do you find that with stock as well?

I've only recently started driving routinely with sport mode on which is right around the time I installed my JoeZ intake. It definitely isn't a huge improvement maybe 0.5-1 mile more per gallon

I only get 13.5-14 mpg with literally 95% city driving in San Francisco which has a ton of stop and go traffic. With the JoeZ/sport mode I've been getting 14-14.5
