A comparable tank from last fall/winter was in Oct when I did 19.8 on 40/60 driving. I did a 16.3 last Feb but that was 100% city.

A comparable tank from summer was 20.7 MPG on the 3rd of July with 50/50 driving.

I love that I'm beating a warm weather CAI tank in winter with the stock airbox.
What kind of cold air intake is it? Is it just heatshielded or is it taking air directly from the outside?
