I can’t wait to see what my 2011 2.4 will get

I think I have a clogged canister purge valve. Hopefully it will raise the mpg when replaced. 30+ mpg is quite impressive. What is the difference in mpg you have with the FIPK air filter versus original air filter?

Broke a personal record over the weekend. First road trip since changing my spark plugs and I got it to 36 mpg on the DIC. Maybe because I was driving in very thick fog and rain at night keeping my speed a little lower LOL.
