I am hoping the CAI will help mileage.  But my wifes foot will not let me find out!   I need to get a tank though without her driving. _____________________________ Drive it like you stole it....

I have just completed 250 miles in a 24 hour test drive of the CX-7. I did a reasonable mix of driving, and covered about 170 miles of sustained motorway miles. I returned an overall average of 22.7 mpg. The drive and experience was truely exceptional. Enough to try and find out if anyone has converted this engine to LPG. (in reply to Alpha Wolf) Post #: 14

The fuel efficiency improved a little bit....just a little...now I'm able to drive 420 km on a tank (city drive). I just contacted the dealer and the best expectations will be 500 km on a tank of gas. Unfortunately I'll void the warranty if I'll modify the exhaust or CAI system. Great car overall I'm really happy...even the gas will jump again this summer to $1,5 /liter (in reply to realmanyoga) Post #: 15
