	So you've not really done enough mileage to work out your MPG with the clean filter?

Was getting extremely sluggish so bought a K&N recharge kit, cleaned it out over the weekend - Pepped up the throttle response a lot, I have having probs with the car stalling under acceleration, all sorted with the recharger :thumbs: Engine runs cooler too :D [Edited on 17-05-2005 by Poot]

	Don't drive the car hard and your mpg shouldn't be affected.

	Thats just it, dont want it!! So you're saying even if i put the standard filter and backbox on, would still use the same amount of petrol per tankful?:wave:

	bought my 1.2 8v merit with a K&N filter on it...I can get around 300 miles from a full tank it not ragging it, but a lad I know used to be able to get 400 miles easily without a K&N? To be honest I'd rather have more mileage over K&N sound :lol: question is, will it make a difference if the K&N has been used on there for a few years?
