MPG help



lol right now that sounds like a great idea, i took the throttle body off and cleaned it, puti t back on and now i have no throttle, i can press on the gas and it does nothing buy idle, i also get the reduced engine power msg on the dash.
 
no sh*t its all on one weather pack like thing and yes its pluged in i just went out ans started the car and now i have a little throttle, like i can drive around at 15 mph

I understand this, but the engine needs the same amount of power to hold the car at 45 mph. if you need less throttle, you could still be getting the same amount of air, hence the same amount of fuel and power. Unless of course the engine is really working to pull that air in. What does an intake gain at WOT, like 5 hp? so pull it down to 20% (or something like that) of that airflow and the restriction is not as big of a deal anymore. Intake could help mileage, could hurt it. Ill believe what i believe for now until i see tests. And I run open cone and ported TB anyway.

So you are saying you'll believe whatever you want to, regardless of facts.

Tests are done all the time. Intakes are proven to increase mileage time and time again.

On my Stealth it is rated at 19 city and 24 highway. With an intake, downpipe and test pipe as my only flow mods I AVERAGED 26 mpg daily driving it. I got more mileage than it was highway rated for.
 
Buddy of mine had a turbo diesel. He was running 80, yes EIGHT ZERO, pounds of boost. Made 800 hp and over 1000 ft lb of torque. Dyno wouldn't go any higher.

Granted it was a Cummins Ram, but still a turbo diesel.
 




To op: get a mechanical boost gauge and try to keep vac under 10. Mpg will go up keeping vac at or under 10 hg or whatever it is
