it increased mileage by roughly 1 mpg. I know it has done the same for several other members on here too.

I can't really relate too much because I have a C&L and not a K&N, and I have a GT and not a V6. But I just installed my intake and tune and my combined mileage went from 19mpg to 22mpg. With the cruise control on at around 55mph, I can get 30+mpg.

Just the air filter, the benefits are negligible.
