I've noticed since I installed my Typhoon my petrol usage has increased!!! I haven't even been flooring the accelerator. Has anyone noticed the same thing?

I'm getting that too... maybe we are addicted to the higher-rpm sound? *shrugs*

For normal driving at low RPM, you are probably having to apply more throttle to get the same amount of acceleration since CAI usually causes a little bit of torque lost at low RPM due to the long piping.

it's killing me with the combination or the high price of petrol, especially since I use premium unleaded and have lots of hills and 80km speed zones that I go through. I agree Jase, I was thinking that I was doing more RPMs to get that sound and maybe doing 6000 RPM per gear change is injecting that engine through the free flowing filter with a little too much petrol.
