Someone has claimed that with a Ford Focus...removing the tube going to the front of the hood (fresh air) and allowing air to directly go into the bottom of the filter box resulted in increased mpg. Less restriction and warmer air.

I'll eventually try this...but won't like the noise when it's punched....the throttle that is.
