The K&N should have about paid for itself by now. A lot of throw away paper filters are $10-$15 so you after 3 years it should have paid for itself. The K&N does flow higher I might be wrong but I think the computer compensates for the higher flow and adjusts for the proper air fuel mixture. Just make sure when you clean and reoil the filter to check you air intake sensor after a few hundred miles or so. I have heard stories or the filter oil plugging up the sensor and making mpgs worse. they do sell a cheap sensor cleaner for around $5 at most local part stores.
