I'm hoping for 2 mpg overall increase in my '05 Denali. I may be overly optimistic but we'll see.

ya I highly doubt you will see that with just an air intake..A custom tune added to it and I am sure 2mpg would be reasonable

+1 on that. A drop in filter by itself isn't worth much. A full kit isn't even worth that much, but combine intake, exhaust and a tune and you'll see some good results.

Like I said, I'm being overly optimistic. You guys are right. I had an open airbox w/K&N and Flowmaster exhaust on my '95 Vette and barely got 2 more mpg. I may consider a tuning chip but for now gonna leave it alone. 3 kids makes $$$ mods more of a challenge nowadays.
