Default K&N really give HP and fuel gains
I am thinking of putting a K&N air filter in my 2.3 I am getting 29hwy@70mph and around 26 in town....not complaining mind you, but any increase is good, esp wit gas pushing 3 bucks a gallon

Sometimes more air equals more fuel to maintain the same air/fuel ratio. It allows more power because more air is required, but you shouldn't expect much difference for normal driving.

A Cold Air Intake will give you an increase of 4-6 horsepower and about 2-3 mpg. Try that!
