And you sir, are an asshole. FACT.
Like I said, if I'm wrong, post some numbers. Anything. Hell you can even make up some numbers like half the hypermilers here to support your better MPG claim.

You may not like me, but if one more consumer is informed(or un-misinformed as the case has been lately) at the end of the day, my job is done.

If you are right, post some numbers. Your claim of them not having gains has no validity as much as them claiming they do have gains. So for you to say they are wrong, and that they need to show numbers to prove they are right, is just as stupid as your say their claims are. Technically, the guy who installed the filter in HIS own car, that HE drives, should have more validity to his statement, opposed to yours. Until YOU can prove your claims with numbers, you will continue to be looked at as an ass.

lol... AFE doesn't claim MPG increases. Neither does K&N.

I bought a chip on ebay and my yaris now has 200 horsepower... You have to prove this wrong or I am right...

So let me get this straight supmet... your telling me that a less restrictive air filter Is going to have No effect on throttle response or MPG over the stock one?

"Once again, there's no practical difference between the paper and K&N filter - the difference between their averages (.50 km/gal) is smaller than the variation within the set of averaged K&N runs (.65 km/gal). This time, even the one-off "No filter" run landed in the middle of the results."
