Damn thats pretty good, all the years I've been on SATURN forums and all the SATURNs I've owned I have never heard of such improvements in mpg from adding a short or cold air intake to a S-CAR. It must have something to do with living in Inver Grove Heights, I bet if you lived in Little Canada or Highland Park you'd not even see an increase.

well i do think that a big part of it is that there was a hole in the original intake tube so im sure that had somthing to do with it.... live in mn at sumpoint?

RjION 06-07-2009 09:49 PM
