You'd never buy a K&N or any other aftermarket filter for economy. Buy them to save on replacement filters or to go green(ish).

3dfx is right - more air in causes the ECU to add more fuel. The car will be (slightly) better in gear - but you'll use more fuel - despite what the box says.

That's marketing for you.

Having said that I've put one on my last two cars - but this one's def. not getting one.
