three people in the car, luggage, dry weather .
I run 32 psi , Castrol Edge 5W30 synthetic.
no additives, K&N FIPK air filter kit.
280,000 miles . Not to light on the right foot , brake slides lubed , pads cleaned, rear brakes adjusted to 3 clicks in the e brake lever.

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?

I removed the K&N kit and put the OEM set up back on , about 2.5 mpg less .

So 2.5 less with K&N ?

No , less with the stock OEM air box and Fram paper filter.
I sold the K&N kit.

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.
