Is this a common effect of the scoop? I don't think I really notice any performance difference with the scoop and if it is negatively affecting my mpg, I might consider uninstalling. I already only get about 12-13 mpg with my 100% city driving V8 and gas is costing about $40/week. I am definitely spending more on gas now than I was with my Mitsu Montero Sport.

13-26 depending on what i am doign. if i reset it on the interstate with cruise control at 80, 26.2 i think is the highest i have seen. if i reset is around down when i am driving it hard at night on empty roads, you know, the kind of drive that when you park you can smell your brakes, i get about 13 MPG
i have a 535i.
