Based on??? Nothing in the Autospeed article suggests that it's obvious.

I'm in agreement with tasdrouille. The sensor mod PLUS actually increasing the intake temps may result in potentially greater fuel savings than just the sensor mod (assuming detonation is avoided, as usual).

Actual results will depend on the particular vehicle's ECU programming & detonation tendency.
