It increases gas mileage but not by that much. It adds maybe 1-2 mpg.

i think it decreases gas mileage because it allows more cold air in and cold air is more combustible so more gas it is used, but i dunno....i really don't care, my parents pay for gas!!!!

Cold Air Intake. As for me, I've noticed a 25 mile reduction per tank after installing it, but it wasn't untill I changed my oil to redline 5w20 did I really start noticing the mileage drop. My daily commute is 42 miles each way (does not include weekend trips or side excursions) so I mostly do freeway driving.
