I may be the lone exception to this. My car has an AEM CAI, cheap header and a Greddy MX exhaust, from my ricer days... and with me doing my part I am knocking on the door of 40 MPG. These are the only real mods I have done to the car. It is a 1990 Acura Integra. When I the snot out of it, 80+mph with the AC blowing I will average 33 MPG. Before these mods, which was at least 7 years ago, I averaged in the upper 20's.
