The manual for my 07 Honda Civic recommends the change of the in-cabin air filter every 15,000 miles. Well, during a servise around 20,000 I was short on cash at that time and decided to change it myself. I didn't get around to doing it until a couple weeks ago (28,000) and was not prepared for the sight that greeted me.
(See below) The filter had even some pieces of leaves and dead bugs in it.
The ventilation and A/C was working a lot better after that quick change, which let me to the following train of thought: Easier breathing for the A/C, means more cooling for less intense "setting", means lower A/C setting and lower gas consumption.
Ideas, comments, suggestions?
