I realize this is for the 2015 392's, but I didn't know where else to post it so sorry if it's in the wrong place

I have a 2014 392, got it last July. I installed a cold air intake, oiled filter right away! Gas has been OKAY, as expected for these cars. However, lately it's just been terrible! and I haven't even changed the way I drive. Even with adaptive cruise control, it seems to burn gas a lot more now.

Now I was wondering.. I checked my air filter, and it is REALLY DIRTY. I know this may have something to do with it. Think that could be the cause? I'll try to clean and re-oil it later this week, but was wondering if any of you heard of a similar issue?

Heh, just didnt know it would play as that big of a factor.

I mean, it doesn't look dirty at all. The bright blue color is gone, but you know

Put a dry filter on it and see how the mileage differs.

How do you know the mileage is worse now? What was your average before and what is it now?

Dirty air filter will have a huge impact on fuel mileage.

Your right foot on the accelerator has an even bigger impact.

I was getting 15-16 for a good while. Last couple of weeks I've been getting around a lousy 12

I did however clean and re-oil my filter last night, so I am going to see how it goes now.
