Only been a week since I got the AEM CAI installed. I got 24.5 MPG which is about my average. I can tell that this tank is going to be less because I am spending a lot more time running in the VTEC range because of the sweet sound of the engine w/CAI at WOT.

I have the AEM CAI. Sorry, but I don't know the conversion from metric to imperial units...I'm Canadian, eh? Anyways, before my AEM CAI was installed, I was averaging about 380-400 km on a full tank(before the gas light comes on). Now, I average out to 430-450 km before the light comes on.

Finally! That's what I am sayin' bro I get the same mileage as you -- that translates to barely 21-22mpg. No clue how our american brothers are getting 25+ all the time -- we must be lead-footed

Considering that the published fuel consumption specs are 19/29 for the city/highway, I don't think 21-22 is that bad at all for mostly city driving

I have been getting VERY shitty mileage even WITH the CAI.
But that's cuz I'm constantly getting into the VTEC range
I should cut back on VTEC-ing
