Intakes simply add more cold air to the engine which =+hp BUT you lose MPG .

My SRT didn't change my mpg, then again I drive the GS pretty easy. Still getting right around 24mpg on my commute.

Slightly OT, but i think this information is relative. I have a 95 Cobra which was supercharged. Before i added the supercharger i was getting 13/14 mpg in the city. When i added the s/c, i started getting about 16 mpg in the city. As you give the car more air, it begins to burn fuel more efficiently. It starts to eat up alot of fuel and waste more gas under the same circumstance if you drive the car hard or stab the throttle alot around town.

I was wondering about that when I got my Blitz SUS intake on my sc430.
Lately, I noticed that I was burining gas more and i tend to look and keep an eye on my gas level gauge frequently. There seems to be a difference in the level before I had the stock intake compared to the aftermarket one.

Not a major difference, but it's got a nice throttle sound to it, though.

That doese make sense. Thanks...
