Change to high quality filter lead to drastic drop in fuel efficiency

Here is the link to the stainless steel filter: http://www.hurricane-racing.com/filter-a.htm
Have to admit that I'm a bit heavy on the pedal when I switch over to the new filter . That period is over and I'm reverting to my fuel saving driving style. Hopefully the ECU will recognise my effort and maybe the FE will be better than ever.

basic

more air is more fuel
the MAF see's more air coming true so the ECU give's more fuel.
