I've noticed now that it is winter and temps are getting below freezing that my MPG's are taking a serious hit the first 5 or so minutes. Since my typical commute to work is only 8-10 minutes it's killing me! I'm thinking about swapping out my old filter for a Short RAM Warm Air Intake---will this help, even if it's just a bit? Any other ideas---synthetic oil? What weight?
