If you guys notice it, most young guys get low mpg while others who are 24+ get good mileage. That tells you alot, huh?
Driving Habits!

intake gives you more airflow

When you don't know a basic intake gives you more airflow, that's when you should be worry about modding your car.
Not always will more air going in be good for your car.

WTF are you guys drunk? Try reading my post again.

We already told you.
more clean air = more mpg
Why? intake will just increase by a little so no tune will be needed. Thus, there won't be alot of fuel burning. ECU will compensate for it.
Abundant clean air being sucked in = bad mpg
Why? F/I

 

[striker_1818]

The ECU automatically adjusts air fuel ratios, thus the purpose of the intake is to increase horsepower by improving airflow. Increased horsepower comes from more fuel burning. More fuel burning = lower MPG.

I still dont understand why you guys attempted to tell me or correct me somehow. Im baffled at the response you guys gave.

More fuel burning EFFICIENTLY will cause an increase of MPG(by 1-3).
That's why people with F/I have low mpg. They need to constantly adjust the A/F ratio depending on the weather.

I was responding on you saying to another guys post that intake increases mpg and then you contradict yourself somehow and try making a point which was an epic fail, I'm baffled and hope you dont give advice too often.

When was I contradicting myself?
All I said was an intake will not force but have a better airflow thus the engine will breath better. More fuel will be dumped into the engine but to correct running rich, the ECU will autoadjust the a/f ratio. Thus, the added fuel dumped into the engine will burn more efficiently. Engine Breathing better = good. Engine being forced to breath better = bad for mpg.
Get it now?

The only statement to backup the an intake could increase mpg is that the current honda intake is causing stock cars to run rich

dude...just wow
It's 3:15 on the east coast so I'll let you investigate things on your own
