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.

No I didn't buy the car to go fast. I know about the aftermarket world I also have a turbocharged Eagle Talon if I decide to go quick I'll take it for a spin. I use to take it to the track and come close to 12 second 1/4 mile times. It was installed on the Scion because I don't like changing filters and it's a terrific buy compared to purchasing other filters over time. Other than jumping on mechanics wanting to throw it away its a really good filter. It is also installed in my Mazda Millenia with over 200K miles. Very familiar with the filter that's why I'm wondering if it was just the Scion.
