Could it have been possible that your gas mileage went down because driving it harder due yto the install? I know people who install parts to increase FE and power but burn more fuel than before the part install because of the horsepower increase or the psychological factor of thinking 'I have more power to use'. Just a thought. Every K&N system/filter I have used I have found in increase in FE, however if I put my foot in it more ofcourse I'll lose that FE.
