WAI oh WAI...
If you mount a K&N filter in such a way that it draws warm air from the engine bay while the original filter draws cold air, then the K&N filter works as a proper WAI.
The way K&N filters are constructed makes it higly likely that this happens.
We know the positive effect a WAI can have, especially in winter.
8% mpg gain does not sound unreasonable.
This is no miracle feat of K&N, just the effect of a WAI.
(wish this had jumped to mind earlier, things might have turned out differently.)
EDIT What the... I thought this was another thread! Sorry for breaking word. I'll dive under again.
The post fits the topic, I'll leave it as is.
