Because you're crippling output. If the output required to achieve desired speed/distance is fixed, then you need more throttle and rpms to compensate for a reduction in output with a HAI. More throttle/airflow and more revs is load by definition as I understand it. More load requires more fuel as programmed into the ECU by the OEM.

Similarly, the reduced compression effect of less denser air cripples output, compounding the matter.

This is my largest quandary.
