1999 ford eddie bauer 4.0
Just ran thru my 4th tankfull after installing a AFE dry filter and removing the airbox silencer. Mileage was 15.2 average prior to the mods.The stock filter was in need of changing. I unplugged the battery to reset the computer. Since then, my mileage in the next tanks were 16.3, 16.8, 17.0 and 17.5, a 16.9 average!. 60% freeway driving is about what I average. The engine has a throatier sound now. Next up is replacing the 235/70 16's with 265/70 16's. 1999 EB 4.0 with 4:10 gears.
 












My 01 v8 averages 17.5 going back and forth to work..36 miles round trip.
But that's babying it!
BTW I agree about the CAI.
