I put a K&N filter on my carbed 2.8 last week...this sucker picked my fuel economy up pretty good!!
Before...i was getting 21.4 MPG on the highway and 19.7 city.
After....i just pulled in a 24.5 highway and 21 city!!
thats a pretty respectable increse with fuel prices being .92/liter

i picked up my gas mileage by drivin like an old man. but the K&N did give my 2.8 a boost. also helped out the newly acquired 4.3.

around $5000
I should have just dropped in a 350 for that, but you know me....
Hey, got a little opinion here. I bought a fram toughguard filter, and absolutely love it. Honestly it feels like my k&n, and it was less than 10 dollars. Try it first, if you dont like it, throw in a k&n.
