I get around 22-23 mpg with 100% city driving. 27-28 mpg for freeway driving.

How much worse is a AWD compared to a RWD? Can't be that much right?
I get 23/30 on my 350 and if I get better MPG than a 250 AWD.....

You'd be better off taking a dump right before you drive your car if you're looking to increase you fuel efficiency.

WOW! Helllllla funny Brian....

I wish I could get even 23MPG in the 350 I drive.... I only get 20 IF I'm lucky... I don't care about it to much though... if I did I woulda gota a Prius .... for someone to get 30 in a 3fiddy it must be a lot of freeway driving.... I barely got 30 in the 250 I had on a 200mile trip.

you can also add a tornado to jump from 23mpg to 35mpg....



while you're at it... turbo whistle



but yeah, your mileage should be way better unless you're haulin a$$ all the time

^ The whole point of adding holes to your intake box is for sound, so you didn't entirely waste your time.

PS: I'm apalled that I had a typo in my previous post, but now that I have been quoted there's no point in changing it. *your

Lol!! I remember when I fell for that stupid tornado hoopla back in the day and actually installed one effectively tricking my mind into thinking it actually made a difference.
