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?

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!
