I;ve never heard of P n K. Do you mean K&N?
Also the point of CAI is to create more power, generally creating more power lowers MPG slightly because your engine doesn;t have to work as hard to get going, and to stay going.

more low end torque = improved milage.

I think it would be the other way around... creating more power (at the low end anyway) should increase milage "because the engine doenst have to work as hard to get going and stay going"... the more low end power, the easier it is to maintine your speed so the throttle is opened less...
more low end torque = improved milage.

Thats what I meant damnit! I swear 
More low end means the engine doesn;t have to work so hard to get going, meaning BETTER mpg.
It was a long day at work and I'm tired and can't see straight!

yea socha lay off the booz!!!! lol!!
agreed! low end grunt means more MPG's and better towing. a CAI reduces the intake air temerature, and cooler air means more air and more air means more bang and more bang means happy buttdyno...
