AFE air filter / MPG increase?

For those using the AFE Pro Dry S air filter, have you experienced any measurable increase in MPG?



http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...208&print=true

Is it worth the cost?

I've read some reviews that Tundra owners loss MPG upon use.

Any other suggestions to increase MPG other than tire inflation and driving habits?

Sorry man. Unless you want to put your 4Runner on a diet and lose several hundred pounds worth of seats and interior, and run super skinny tires and lower the body to the ground, there's really nothing out there. CAI, Cat-back exhaust, premium fuel, mysterious chips and other magic potions won't work as well as proper inflation and good driving habits. Now, if you use ethanol free fuel you will see an increase in mpg. Unfortunately, the additional cost of the fuel negates any efficiency savings.

1E - I appreciate the feedback.

Unfortunately the waist size of my 4R is what it is and will not be decreasing.

I run that filter, have had it now for about 10,000 miles. I put it in because I like the no mess cleaning of the dry filers. Zero gain in MPG.

I try to replace parts with better than stock when it is time, so far I like this air filter.

Guess I could always drop 25k for a Diesel engine and bump it up to 35MPG...

I have that filter as well, no change in gas mileage for me either but I think it is worth the cost since I can wash it out and still don't have to oil it. Used a discount code and bought through auto anything.

No gain in mileage; bought it to save $$ of replacing disposable stock filters

No change. I just blow it out with some air when I change the oil.

No change in MPG.....but it does give this really cool whistle at a certain RPM, makes me think I have a supercharger for a split second, worth every penny for that feeling!

Notice any increase of HP or torque in certain RPM ranges? I assume there would be no noticable change but figured I'd ask.

Thanks to all for the responses. I think I will pick one up when it's time for the next filter change just for the sake of having a reusable one.

Not that I really noticed. My mind/body would like to think there is a minor change, but I can't say there is.
