I used to knock down 28 mpg on average for highway milage. The most I ever got was 30 mpg. The thing on that is it was while cruising across NM going 85 mph and it had a short 125mph run on that tank too. When I got into TX, the speed limit dropped and so did my MPG.

But did you actually get better mileage using gas not from DFW? I swear I gain 2 to 3 mpg using other formulas. A few months ago, I recorded 28.8 from Atlanta to Louisiana averaging almost 80mph.

LMAO no you will damage the cotton fibers.
You have to soak it in water then spray it with K&N cleaner and let it sit for like 5 mn. then you rinse it from the inside out if it is a cone style or from the clean side out if it is the flat type. then you let it air dry, just put it out in the sun and let it dry on its own.
if you use compressed air to dry you will again ruin the cottor fibers
... so can i have it lol or are you going to clean it
I would personally clean it. if it doesnt get clean on the first one, clean it again.
when it dries it will be white

sorry I forgot then you oil it with and only with K&N filter oil just enough to coat the outside if its a cone style or the "outside" side if its a flat style.
the oil will soak through to the other side on its own, then presto like brand new.
A completely dirty K&N will still flow more CFMs than a brand new paper air filter.
