So who's getting screwed? Not me: I've more than saved the cost of the K&N filter on the Insight from not having to replace the OEM paper ones (which I can only find through the dealer :-(), plus instead of throwing a bunch of plastic and stuff into a landfill every 10K miles or so, I use a miniscule amount - maybe a teaspoon or so - of oil & detergent.
Now if it did increase fuel economy, that'd be a plus, but I haven't seen anything like an honest test (other than that link from Darrin, which I think was too short for accuracy), just people spouting off their opinions. So where's the real-world test? Put one in a vehicle, drive a couple of thousand miles, or at least a tank or two, and see if mpg improves.
