[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 454708, member: 24042"] You increase power by increasing the efficiency of the engine. That is also how you increase mileage. A cold air intake increases power because the colder, denser, air charge improves engine efficiency. Most people who modify their engines do so seeking more power, and as a result they do not drive in a manner conducive to the highest possible mileage. That is also why manufacturers advertise power gains, not mileage improvement. I can, if I accelerate like a normal person and obey speed limits, top 32MPG in my 800HP Corvette. I don't do that very often (OK, only once, on a dare from my wife) but I sure CAN. [/QUOTE]
