[MrCooper]

Not That Bad

1. I have got the '06 V8 Sportedition w/ AWD. I have added a K&N Air Charger kit and It has improved my mileage a bit.

2. Live in Florida. Most humid and hot.

3. Always 97 Octane for my baby

4. Around 40,000 miles. I'm not home a lot to drive it.

5. I am mostly an Avg. driver but I can be aggressive at times.

6. 80% City and 20% Hwy

7. (I took reading with a separate computer that gave a live reading)W/o the CAI I was getting 14 mpg at the lowest points where I was constantly aggressive in the city and usually it was around 16 and at the most 19 mpg on the hwy. After the installation of the CAI the computer has been down to 11 mpg when I am being aggressive(introducing more air than usually for power) around the city and was around 18 when I was calm. On the hwy I was very surprised because the computer was reading 24-26mpg(it changed when there was inclines and bridges).:jump:

-I race quite a bit also because all my friends think they can beat me in their Supras and Durangos.
