    Do you run your Climate control in 'Auto' all the time? I understand that that was the way it was designed to be used, but it also uses the air conditioning almost all of the time too, which doesn't help the fuel economy side of things... I run mine in 'manual' mode most of the time, but I normally use 'Auto' when its 25 degrees or above outside.

    i got a cai on mine and it didnt really do ne thing for the fuel just made it sit on 13 reguardless... when i first got it i was gettin high 6's on the hwy, but yeah the more freely the engine can breathe (exhaust etc..) the better it will run..to an extent
    and i dont usually run my air con, like having the windows down...
