I've had my hardpipes for about a month and I've filled up twice already. I usually end up driving 90% freeway from school to home and back on the weekends (100 miles each way) and have noticed that I am losing about 50-60 miles the last 2 tanks of gas I've had. Just curious if this happens to anyone els, or if I'm suddenly growing a lead foot.
Anyone else with hardpipes experience worse gas milage?

dude, my mileage has gone up from getting hard pipes, and CAI. I even run more psi. Thing is u're problably gunning it more listening to it? Or driving harder.......if you don't drive hard you'll get better mileage with the pipes....or maybe i'm wrong, Its just that i'm getting better mileage.
I think your foot is getting heavy. With just what you said there seems to be no reason why that mileage would go down. Some other forum members reported lower gas mileage after like a year or so but that was for unknown or random reasons. I bet your next tank(s) will even out to a normal level.
mine went down. definitely due to a heavier foot though. once I eased up my milage was what it was before the pipes. Same deal with the midpipe.
(and I paid $1.02 a LITRE for 91 octane last week. 3.75 litres to a US gallon, exchange rate right now is 0.73. That's $2.79 a gallon. Sucks to be Canadian right now - but only because of the gas prices...

It's not the pil companies fault, they do not control the amount that they sell for. (BTW before you speculate I have no good source my dad is in Unocal 76 Management)
Oil companies have to buy barrels of oil from a provider, usually OPEC cause no one will let Bush or anyone else drill in Alaska where there is tons of oil, so we have to buy. OPEC forever has driven prices rediculously high for us just to make money. The oil companies right now are making no money what so ever. They cannot raise prices to make profits too high or else people won't buy. There is also a law that prohibits a station/company to sell gas for under what it cost to make it. (Costco got sued a while ago for this) So right now the oil companies are stuck, and people blame them.
So blame OPEC
. But now of course since we took over Iraq we actually are a part of OPEC for the first time ever, and Bush hasn't helped to lower prices, he said he wants to raise them.....so actually yelll at Bush, I hate that guy.

Over the past 2 years my dad and other managers have had to fire/layoff over half of their workers, most other companies report the same. LOTS of people are losing jobs.Dexter said:

(jacked) like Wilsman00 said, Blame Bush and OPEC, they're in it together
My father and Unlce work together and they own a gas station and workshop. I do see the prices are higher, but they are pretty cheap just by a small amount.
