    My turboed passat running at 20psi max still gets 30-32mpg on highway.

    I'm guessing if you use the enkeis in the summer, you probably floor it more often. I tend to speed faster in the warmer weather. How often would you go WOT in the snow? :twocents:

    Also for the snow tire mileage, it could be b/c of the denser, colder air in the winter. Like a cold air intake, d00d!!1 </sarcasm>

    negative. i drive my car like i stole it no matter what the weather... snow on the road just means its more fun to play --- if anything i drive it harder in the winter. denser air doesnt have anything to do with it, if anything the mileage would drop due to denser air since it takes more fuel to balance a proper AFR. also, wouldn't know what a CAI feels like... i skipped that step and went straight to turbo.

    I did something like Vamp's "better RAI" last week on my rolla. I can't say that it helped a whole lot at all. It's all psychological horsepower.
