Has anyone noticed a drop in mpg after the RPI Scoop was installed or is it just me slamming that gas pedal too much?

LOL it's just a heavier right foot that reduces the MPG's - not the scoop

If you have questions about air filters this is probably the best dyno spread I've seen so far comparing almost every top brand, decide for yourself which is best.
