Do you still have the vehicle?, if so, as said above do it again.
Also, when was the filter changed before that & was it the right spec filter?
It was a gasoline land rover discovery. About a year later I drive into water over the windows offloading and got rid of it. air filter was new. As a matter of fact I tried replacing it with a highflow cone filter to no avail. But the difference with no restriction was incredible. It was no fluke. As I got way more miles to the tank than normal and I document all fuel consumption doing the math it came out to 22mpg from 16
