lower MPG/icebox?

Seems like I have lower MPG with Comptech Icebox +K&N filter on - or maybe I`m enoying my icebox too much and driving to hard?

that how i felt after i got my aem cai. it took a while for me to realize that i'm flirting with vtec too much and too long. refuel next time and try to drive "normally" and see how many MPG you're getting.

Hows that icebox+k&n filter sound? I'm debating between that and the AEM. Is there a noticeable difference with the icebox?

The CT Icebox with a K&N filter was my first mod. I didn't observe any increase in gas mileage.

Is that why my gas mileage is actually lower than when I first bought my TL-S? A drive isn't a drive without the sweet sound of VTEC!
