hey,
I installed this chrome intakes ram air on my ST a few months ago and since I've installed it I've gotten about 100km/tank less than i used to with my stock intake. Was I wrong in thinking the gas mileage would get better if not stay the same? could i have possibly done something wrong? (it's pretty simple, i don't think i goofed on anything.) |

Cold air = more power. More power = less revs needed to get the car moving.
QUOTE(Rayme @ Feb 26, 2007 - 8:23 AM) [snapback]530406[/snapback] if your logic was good, every car would get extremely good mileage in winter. But its quite the very opposite, it drops buy almost 25% + My mpg decreases in the winter also. I warm up the car longer, and use more accerioes such as heater, windsheild wiper and rear defroster. All this electricity use puts a heavy strain on the alternator and this reduces power and fuel effiency. |
Tech9ine gas mileage worse after chrome intakes. Feb 26, 2007 - 12:15 AM
