flynfrog u really need to work on punctuation... reading your posts is a nightmare sometimes....

Anyway most people say that for a 350Z a drop in filter gains the same as most $200+ intakes; dunno who to believe since I haven't bought a K&N or aftermarket air intake before.

Taking of those racks and bicycle stands when you're not using them can make quite a difference too.

Taking the train would be even better as it runs on electricity. However, a ride from my college to home costs me more on the trainticket than it would for the gas to go by car :p.

The most fuel efficient of them all would have to be this: Hichhiking (To travel by soliciting free rides along a road) followed closely by walking, running, skiping, jumping, jogging and even rollerblading.... 8)

Cycling is increadably efficient, but it takes a long time.

that is more than likley because they are not getting much gain from the intakes

also are any of these dyno proven?

I agree, except that bicycling and walking beats it. We have developed a "cyclo-ways" system in Bogotá, that you may like to take a look at.

We're proud of the 104 km of cyclo-ways we have built (the orange and green lines).

Finally, the best part about living in the Andes at the equator, is that we have 19 degrees centigrade all year round: no summer or winter worries...

Someone dyno'd an ARC intake (it might have been their tube + induction box) and it made around 11hp
