Gas mileage tends to go down when upgrading with performance parts because you feel the power and in turn use it with your right foot more. Synthetic oil in the drive line and engine, monitor your tire pressure might squeeze a few more mpg, but inevitably with the power to weight ratio, gearing, AWD, drag coeficient of the H3 it is hard to get really good gas mileage.

I put my Volant system on for 2 reasons, sound and looks. Never expected anymore, never got anymore. When I do the intake it will only be for the sound and help run smoother again not for MPG.
